Geraldine Brooks is also the author of Nine Parts of Desire: The Hidden
World of Islamic Women and former foreign correspondent for the Wall
Street Journal where she reported on wars and famines in the Middle
East, Bosnia, and Africa. A native of Australia and a graduate of Sydney
University and the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism,
she currently lives in Virginia with her husband and young son.
As Brooks tells it, "Unless civil war breaks out for a second time in
Virginia, it is unlikely that I will ever see a battlefield again. These
days I don't cover uprisings or get arrested on suspicion of espionage.
I bake bread, piece quilts, turn the compost heap and sit on the porch,
rocking my son to sleep....A letter can find me here with just the name
of the village as an address."
