Sarah Bakewell had a wandering childhood, growing up on the "hippie
trail" through Asia and in Australia. She studied philosophy at the
University of Essex, and worked for many years as a curator of
early printed books at the Wellcome Library, London, before
becoming a full-time writer. Her books include How to Live- a life
of Montaigne, which won the Duff Cooper Prize and the US National
Book Critics Circle Prize, and At the Existentialist Cafe, a New
York Times Ten Best Books of 2016. She was also among the winners
of the 2018 Windham-Campbell Literature Prize. She still has a
tendency to wander, but is mostly to be found either in London or
in Italy with her wife and their family of dogs and chickens.
