Autor/-in: Christine Pillainayagam

Christine Pillainayagam is a writer and retail strategist, who lives in Kent with her young family and a collection of records, CD's and minidiscs (remember those?). A mild obsession with The Beatles and the desire to write a story that reflected her own experiences growing up as a first-generation immigrant, led her to put that love of music and words into a book. Ellie Pillai Is Brown is her debut novel and winner of the Bradford Boase Award.

A singer and songwriter, she also writes a blog: thelittlebrownbook.co.uk
