Tamar Myers

    Het vroege leven van Tamar Myers speelde zich af in Belgisch-Congo, waar haar familie als missionarissen diende bij een stam die bekend stond om zijn unieke gebruiken. Opgegroeid in een onbekende maar levendige cultuur, ontwikkelde ze een uniek perspectief gevormd door avontuur en veerkracht. Deze vormende periode, inclusief een tumultueus vertrek en de daaropvolgende cultuurshock bij terugkeer naar de Verenigde Staten, doordrenkt haar schrijven met een diep begrip van ontheemding en aanpassing. Myers creëert boeiende verhalen die de nuances van culturele ontmoetingen en de kracht die gevonden wordt in het navigeren door sterk verschillende werelden, verkennen.
