About the Author

After a childhood in Asia, the Middle East and Europe, Karien van Ditzhuijzen moved to Singapore in 2012. Karien has a degree in Chemical Engineering, but gave up her career developing ice cream recipes to become a writer and has since written and edited half a dozen books and short stories, including in 2018 her debut novel A Yellow House, published by Monsoon Books. The Black and White House was inspired by her own colonial house at Adam Park in Singapore, which has an illustrious history.
