"Offers a vivid portrait of a writer who is instinctively drawn to other cultures and places. Whether writing about a solo vacation inside the Iron Curtain, meeting the reclusive writer Elizabeth Smart in a dilapidated cottage in the English countryside, reflecting on how Chilean society responded to Pinochet's coup, or tracking down the people who knew Svetlana Alliluyeva for Stalin's Daughter, Rosemary Sullivan delivers a master class in cultural studies, human rights advocacy, and empathy for the human condition."

Rosemary Sullivan is the bestselling author of many books of biography, memoir, poetry, travelogue, and short fiction. Her books include Shadow Maker: The Life of Gwendolyn MacEwen, Villa Air-Bel: World War II, Escape and a House in Marseille, and Stalin's Daughter. Sullivan has worked with Amnesty International since 1979. In 1980 she founded The Writer and Human Rights to aid its activities. She was appointed an Officer of the Order of Canada in 2012.
