Tiger Autumn

Although JAN PEARSON draws material for her books from her memories of living in Hong Kong during the 1960s, she has lived in Australia for most of her adult life and these days enjoys rural living on the scenically beautiful Far North Coast of New South Wales in Australia. With an initial background in earth sciences and a twenty-year career in various policy roles, Jan has now turned to writing, drawing from her imagination, memory and life experiences. Like Red Bird Summer, Tiger Autumn focuses on her beloved Hong Kong. Each book won a Publication Prize in successive years in the competition for the international Proverse Prize.
