Rosanna Amaka was born in the UK and is of Nigerian and Jamaican heritage. She holds both graduate and post-graduate degrees in engineering and teaching from King's College and University College London, and has spent many years travelling internationally as a chartered engineer. Experiences abroad helped fuel her interest in culture, history and the human condition, which is a feature in her work. Her debut novel, The Book of Echoes, was shortlisted for the Authors' Club First Novel Award, the RSL Christopher Bland Prize and the HWA Debut Crown Award. Rose and the Burma Sky is her second novel and was inspired by a conversation with her grandmother while they were watching a war film in which all the soldiers were white. Rosanna lives in South London. Meet her on Twitter @RosannaAmaka
