Jan Casey

    Jan Casey sa prvýkrát dozvedela o málo známej udalosti týkajúcej sa mosta Waterloo, "The Ladies' Bridge", postaveného ženami počas druhej svetovej vojny, na výletnej lodi po Temži. Príbeh ju fascinoval a "The Women of Waterloo Bridge", prvý román Jan, je výsledkom jej skúmania tejto udalosti, ktorá bola až doteraz vymazaná z histórie. Predtým, ako sa stala publikovanou autorkou, Jan publikovala poviedky a krátku prózu. Jan sa zameriava na skúmanie zabudnutých ženských príbehov a ich začlenenie do histórie, čím dáva hlas tým, ktorí boli umlčaní, a jej štýl je opísaný ako "príbehy, na ktoré si spomeniete".
