Born in London, Carol Cooper was a few months old when her cosmopolitan family took her to live in Egypt. She returned to the UK at eighteen and went to Cambridge University where she studied medicine and her fellow students. On her path to a career as a family doctor, she worked at supermarket checkā€outs, typed manuscripts in Russian, and served her time as a junior hospital doctor. Following a string of popular health books and an award-winning medical textbook, Carol turned to writing the kind of fiction she enjoys reading. One Night at the Jacaranda is the first of her three novels to date. Visit: drcarolcooper.com
