After graduating, she went to India as a volunteer intending to return and work in the field of Community Relations. This plan was thwarted when a Bengali colleague introduced her older brother to the author - within a few months the couple were married and setting up home in Kolkata! They eventually settled in Britain for the sake of their disabled daughter, initially in rural areas of the north and later in the multi-cultural environment of a Midlands city.
Alison Mukherjee's working life has been divided between social work and teaching in schools and college. In 2001 she gained a PhD for her work on the Bengali translations of the Hebrew psalms and the following year her first novel, Nirmal Babu’s Bride, was published by Indialog Publications.
The author has two daughters and a son and lives with her husband in the Midlands.view less
