Sally Foreman is a British writer based in Jerusalem and London. Her first novel draws on her experiences of growing up in provincial East Anglia – the child of an NHS therapist from Malaysia and an English self-professed jack of all trades, who worked variously as a travelling salesman, factory hand, and pet shop owner – and an adulthood spent moving between cities and continents. Foreman has worked as a lawyer in London and Hong Kong, an educational consultant in Moscow, and an academic researcher in the UK, Israel, and Georgia, where parts of her novel are set.
