Anne Alatri

The author was born in Birmingham in L945 and spent some time in the Channel lslands with her mother's family where she met her ltalian husband. When her husband wanted to return to his homeland the family went to live in ltaly in January 1970. After working for the UN agency FAO in Rome for 4 years the author decided to move to Belgium for better work prospects. Both the author and her husband worked in Belgium until 2006 when they decided to retire to the Western Ligurian area of ltaly, where the climate suited them, especially the mild sunny winters. She now lives in Spain. 

The author is fluent in English, French and ltalian and speaks a little Spanish. With her husband she has travelled around Europe, visited Argentina, Uruguay, South Africa and the USA. She has not written any previous books but, after collecting material for possible future works, is considering a commitment to write another book about ltaly and in particular about the southern Lazio region, in the period leading up to, during and subsequent to WW2 and the plight of the people in that region.
