Anne Hamilton co-founded a UK based charity, Bhola’s Children, supporting a home and school in Bangladesh for disabled children and remains a trustee today. She has been sharing her time between the UK and Bangladesh for the past 21 years, which inspired both her memoir and most recent novel, The Almost Truth. The unpublished manuscript for The Almost Truth was the winner of the Irish Novel Fair, and a short story adaptation of it is included in an Edinburgh Charity anthology, The People’s City, titled The Finally Tree. Anne’s first novel, a travel memoir titled A Blonde Bengali Wife, was published in 2010 and based on her experience in Bangladesh. All money earned from A Blonde Bengali Wife goes direct to the charity, Bhola’s Children.
