![]() ![]() My exigency for Historical Fiction continued as I grew older, but when I discovered Jane Austen, I was besotted. ![]() I was born in Buenos Aires but, by the end of 1962-the year of my birth-my parents immigrated to the United States of America.įrom an early age, I was mesmerized by stories of young ladies from days of yore. This was largely due to the auspices of a philanthropic organization created by Baron Maurice Hirsch, which rescued Jews trapped in the Pale of Settlement. Far from it! Just prior to the revolution, my grandparents escaped the pogroms and persecution of Imperial Russia, and immigrated to Argentina. My family were neither descendant of landed gentry, nor were they Anglican. Shall I begin by properly introducing myself? Unlike Miss Jane Austen, I was not born in a scenic village in rural England. ![]() I am delighted to make your acquaintance, if only through this medium. ![]()
