Author Information

Jean Grant's debut novel, The Burning Veil, was inspired by her time in Saudi Arabia where she worked as a journalist for the newspaper Arab News and The Middle East magazine. At the outset of the Lebanese Civil War, she was teaching English at the American University of Beirut. When her seven-year-old son was found in sniper territory searching for bullets and shrapnel for his collection, she took him and his older brother to safety in the small French village, which is the setting for Flight.
