Pamela Petro
Pamela Petro has been educated at Brown, Paris and Harvard Universities; in 1983 she went to the University of Wales at Lampeter for the first time, to do her MA, returning in 1992 for intensive instruction in the Welsh language.

This is her first ‘real’ book. She has, by the way, ‘no’ Welsh blood.
