She has lived in Bern, Toronto, Rome, London and now lives in Berlin with her Czech husband. Her first published work was a short story in Jamaica's national newspaper when she was eleven years old. At seventeen, she sent a letter to her father from Switzerland that he thought was so funny he sent it to the other national newspaper, which snagged her a weekly column on teenage life in Kingston. She also previously wrote a weekly column on life as an expat in Rome for a now defunct online magazine. She got back into fiction writing in Berlin, from where she has published short stories in several online publications and one anthology. \u003ci\u003eSweetness in the Skin\u003c\/i\u003e is her first novel.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWeitere Angaben\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eBuch (Paperback), B-format paperback, Englisch, 368 Seiten\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Weltbild.ch: Bücher \u0026 Outlet","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":65781431730525,"sku":"K097808946","price":10.8,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0911\/8915\/0045\/files\/9780894600001A.jpg?v=1788322207","url":"https:\/\/weltbild.ch\/products\/sweetness-in-the-skin-ishi-robinson","provider":"Weltbild.ch Bücher \u0026 Outlet","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
