A Testament of Grief: One Mother's Story of Loss and Survival - Tapa blanda

Acerca del autor

Jennifer is a playwright and author. Her first book, 'A Testament of Grief' has just won an International Georgina Hawtrey-Woore award for non-fiction. Among the on-line reviews is the word 'Masterpiece' and 'possibly the best book on grief ever written'. From the book emerged her first play, a mundane and metaphysical piece about a mother who has lost a child, ‘Dolly Gone’. Having staged her own musical about Austerity in 2013/14, which she describes as 'a work in progress', she has now finished the final draft of her third play, which is awaiting a staged read. Jennifer currently gives talks on 'grief, the hero and creativity' and has just begun writing her fourth play and her next book. A History of Art graduate from Warwick University, she has spent much of her life working to reduce inequalities. But after the death of her only child, Charlotte, on Dartmoor, eleven years ago, she was compelled to write about the grief and her career as a writer began. Jennifer lives in a little thatched cottage in Devon with two cats Crumble and Custard and frequently spends time in London.
