The daughter of an Australian father and a German mother, Rachel Seiffert was born in Oxford and lives in London. She is the author the Booker-shortlisted novel The Dark Room.
'The Crossing' has all the leanness of Hemingway's short fiction... In Seiffert's hands, the tale becomes a tense parable set at the dangerous intersection of trust, desperation and xenophobia * New York Times Book Review * Vivid, just and heartfelt * Daily Telegraph * It is extraordinary to experience these fictions... Not even the achievement of The Dark Room, its maturity and courage, will quite prepare the reader for the subtle art at work throughout these stories * Irish Times * Seiffert is a writer of great delicacy and toughness...good story begetting good story after good story * Guardian * A magnificent collection: striking, moving, and deeply thought-provoking * Financial Times *
