Author biography
Patricia le Roy (her surname is pronounced 'luh rwa') was born in Liverpool and educated at the University of Sussex. After working as a teacher, translator, secretary and journalist, she spent several years as a research editor at Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty. Patricia travelled twice to Burma while researching The Glass Palace Chronicle and now lives in Paris with her French husband and two daughters. The Angels of Russia -- the first in a trilogy of novels, 'Lenin's Ghost', about the fall of communism -- sparked a media storm in 1998 when it became the first e-book ever to be nominated for the UK's prestigious Booker Prize. The second title in the trilogy was Music at the Garden House, and she has recently completed the third, Tamerlane's Grave. Three of her e-book titles have also been placed by Online Originals with a conventional UK publisher, Piatkus Books.
