ⓘ About Dinah Jefferies

Dinah Jefferies is a Malaysian historical and romance author known for her 2021 book series, Daughters of War. She was born in Malacca in 1948, but her parents moved to England when she was nine years. The death of her 14-year-old son in 1985 profoundly influenced her writing as she drew on that experience as a mother and some of her childhood memories in Malacca in the 1950s. From the two memories, she published her debut novel, The Separation. Dinah is a resident of Gloucestershire with her husband and their overweight Norfolk terrier. When not writing, you will find her making dinosaurs and tiaras with her grandchildren. In her 2015 novel, The Tea Planters Wife, Dinah Jefferies introduces us to her main character, Gwendolyn Hooper.
