About The Author
Maya Caruso
Maya Caruso is a Sydney-based researcher and author whose love of storytelling is as strong as her espresso. The daughter of Italian migrants who arrived in Australia in the 1960s, she grew up in a home filled with loud laughter, much yelling, and endless curiosity about the world. When she’s not writing or diving into her latest research project, Maya can be found chasing after her two children or spoiling her very old (and delightful!) dog. Her work blends heart, history and humour, with a dash of Italian flair. Silvia is Maya’s first novel.
