Harriet Devine

Harriet Devine was brought up in London, by parents who worked in the theatre. She's written about her eventful childhood (which begins with her conception on Laurence Olivier's sofa) in her memoir, Being George Devine's Daughter. She spent a number of years as an academic, teaching English Literature, but now lives in rural France, surrounded by green fields, and enjoys the ups and downs of expat life, which feature in her first work of fiction, The Expat Murders. A second volume of this is now underway.
