Maria Perry, herečka a spisovateľka, vyrastala v prostredí, ktoré kládlo dôraz na zdanlivé povrchnosti, no jej diela sa hlboko ponárajú do zložitosti ľudskej povahy. Po neobvyklej kariérnej dráhe, ktorá zahŕňala žurnalistiku aj divadlo, objavila svoju vášeň v písaní. Jej próza sa vyznačuje bystrým postrehom a ironickým pohľadom na spoločenské konvencie. Perry skúma témy identity a spoločenského postavenia s pôvabom a inteligenciou.
