Candida Baker is a writer, editor, photographer, journalist and natural horsemanship practitioner.
No one writes about 'the immigrant's malaise, the strange uncertainty of constant, inevitable yearning..' better than Candida Baker. Every migrant or reader temporarily bereft of a place of belonging will find understanding in the stories she weaves of those whose wanderlust or fates finds them far from home. Also the solace that, if the vulnerability (particularly for women) doesn't kill them, another tribe and place will ultimately find them. Rachel WardThe vision for Candida Baker's Light and Shadow remains as important now as it did two hundred years ago for Flora Shallcross Stone: to bring to light from shadow the sovereign voices of women across the ages, and to keep alive all conversations and stories that seek to rebalance the presence of females in history and to reignite the often-wavering but bright creative female spark. Sally Colin-James, author of One Illumined ThreadLight and Shadow is the most intimate of novels, a book to be kept on your bedside table. Baker's power and truth as a describer of women's longing, desire and sexual love is second to none. She is truly a literary descendant of Marguerite Duras. Sue Woolfe
