Catherine Czerkawska is a multi-award-winning historical novelist and playwright based in Scotland. She has written plays for the stage, ITV and BBC Radio 4, and has published numerous short stories. Her eight novels include The Jewel, a fictional account of Jean Armour and her marriage to Robert Burns, and The Curiosity Cabinet, shortlisted for the Dundee International Book Prize and serialised on BBC radio. She has also written non-fiction books including A Proper Person to Be Detained.
“Clear-eyed, succinct editorial notes…a much more substantial piece
of work than its slim page count suggests. Czerkawska comes to the
same conclusion as many Burnsians, that, despite its troubles, Jean
and Rabbie’s love affair was profound and abiding. Reading her
selection, that becomes abundantly clear.”
