• Author: Jo Swinney

    Jo was born in the UK, but grew up in Portugal and France. She went to an English boarding school, did a gap year in southern Africa and in her twenties studied theology in Canada, where she met her American husband. Now back in the UK, she’d had more reason that most to wonder what ‘home’ really means. Her most recent book, Home was published in 2017.
