About the Author/作者介绍： Born in Johannesburg in 1978, Richard Mason was 10 years old when he moved to England with his parents. He was educated at Eton and New College, Oxford. His first novel, THE DROWNING PEOPLE, was published during his first year at Oxford, and has since been translated into 22 languages. Mason set up the Kay Mason Foundation, in memory of his sister, who died when he was a child. The aim of the foundation is to make the best education available for young people in South Africa. The foundation has the patronage of Nobel Peace laureate Archbishop Desmond Tutu. Mason lives in Glasgow, Scotland and Cape Town, South Africa.
