Beverley Harper
Beverley Harper (1941 – 9 August 2002) was an Australian author of novels set on the African continent.
Born in Bulli, New South Wales in 1941, Harper visited Africa in 1967. Although she meant to stay for only one year, she lived there until 1988, when she returned to Australia.[1]
Most of her novels were translated into German and published by Bastei Lübbe. Her final novel, Footprints of Lion, was completed by her husband after her death from cancer in 2002. Her ashes lie on the banks of the Boteti River in Botswana.[2]
