Jitka Schieff

Jitka Schieff was raised in pre-Velvet-Revolution Czechoslovakia. With her family, she emigrated to Australia, which became her new home. Spending most of her adult life in Sydney and loving travel, she also spent several years in London and Rome. In more recent years Jitka moved to France and later back to her native Czech Republic, where she now lives in Prague. Her friends, highly entertained and greatly moved by her stories, persuaded her to put them down on paper. Pepi and I is her first book.
