Rita Baker

    Une écrivaine canadienne d'origine britannique s'inspire de son éducation par des grands-parents anticonformistes et libres penseurs, qui lui ont inculqué un esprit ouvert et inclusif. Sa passion réside dans la création de romans, où elle donne vie à des personnages forts et à des descriptions vivides de personnes et de lieux inhabituels, enrichies par des dialogues significatifs. Elle relie son expérience de lecture aux œuvres magistrales d'auteurs classiques, en se concentrant sur des récits de relations qui résonnent avec l'époque contemporaine. Sa carrière d'actrice de toute une vie informe son écriture d'une profonde compréhension de la nature humaine et de l'art dramatique.

      OF BREEDING AND BIRTH has elements of love, hate, mystery and romance and explores themes of inequality and prejudice as well as the bondage that comes from close family ties. We need strength to deal with what life dishes out without a thought to our individual circumstances. Did Bingham lack that strength? Or was he simply a pawn in the game of life."Overall, this is a brilliant book. It’s different and thought-provoking and for me, made me think about how those who may be more privileged, may live….but it also makes it clear that although they may be well off, they certainly have their own troubles – sometimes a lot bigger than general folk may experience!! This is definitely a book to be picking up if you want to read something a little different, with lots of things to keep you interested and your emotions on a rollercoaster!"
