ⓘ About Adele Parks
Adele Parks is an English author that writes women’s fiction. Her books have been translated into over two dozen languages and they aim to tackle difficult issues. +Biography Adele Parks comes from Teesside in North-East England. That is where she was born in 1969. As a child of the 70s and 80s, Adele’s life was pretty ordinary. She watched way too much television, and her unhealthy diet left a lot to be desired. But in those days, parents paid little heed to the activities of their children. Adele eventually attended Leicester University where she studied English and Literature. Writing has been on the author’s mind for as long as she can remember. With her university days behind her, she eventually went into advertising and then management consultation.
