William Boyd was born in Ghana, the son of a Scottish doctor, in 1952, and grew up there and in Nigeria. His first novel A Good Man in Africa was published in 1981, and won both the Whitbread First Novel and Somerset Maugham Prizes. He has since published many acclaimed and successful novels, and four collections of short stories.
