Jenni Daiches was born in the USA, educated in the US and England, and has lived and worked in Scotland since 1971. She was with the National Museum of Scotland in various capacities (including Head of Publications and script coordinator for the Museum of Scotland exhibitions which opened in 1998) from 1978 to 2001. Both before and since she has worked as a freelance writer and lecturer. Daiches, who also writes under the name Jenni Calder, is the author of innumerable literary and non-fiction works, including her recent novel Forgive.
"Jenni Daiches's second novel is a quiet but powerful portrait of Ruth, a woman of middle age, and her relationships - with her ex-husband, her now dead parents, her siblings and her children, and perhaps most of all with the various lodgers with whom she shares her run-down, rambling family home a few miles from Edinburgh. ... This is not a novel of thrills and spills, but it is engrossing and thought-provoking, and has left a lasting impression on this reader." - James Robertson writing about Forgive
