About the Author/作者介绍： 18岁的爱丽丝.彼得森获得奖学金，有机会到美国学习网球，可是不幸也降临—她的右手经受着疼痛的折磨。事实上爱丽丝患上了风湿性关节炎，自此她再也没有碰网球。爱丽丝已经创作了三本非小说类文学作品，两卷个人回忆录《想赢得意念》和《另一个爱丽丝》，以及一本以祖母为原型创作的家庭回忆录。接下来，作者又出版了两本小说《你我眼中的世界》，《我和他》。尽管爱丽丝作品的主题以残疾为主题，但是绝无阴郁的色彩。相反，这种写作给她的作品增添了真实的辛酸苦涩。

At the age of 18 Alice Peterson had been awarded a tennis scholarship to America when she experienced pain in her right hand. It was rheumatoid arthritis and she hasn’t picked up a tennis racket since. She has written three non-fiction books, two volumes of personal memoir called A Will to Win and Another Alice, plus a family memoir based on her grandmother’s life in Rhodesia. Two novels followed, published by Black Swan - Look the World in the Eye and You, Me and Him. The theme of disability features in her fiction but there is nothing gloomy about Alice or her work. Rather, this gives her fiction the added dimension of true poignancy.
