Emma Rous
Emma Rous grew up in England, Indonesia, Kuwait, Portugal and Fiji, and from a young age she had two ambitions: to write stories, and to look after animals. She studied veterinary medicine and zoology at the University of Cambridge, and worked as a veterinary surgeon for eighteen years before starting to write fiction. Emma lives in Cambridgeshire, England, with her husband and three sons, and she now writes full time.

The Au Pair is her first novel. It was published in ten countries, in nine languages. Her second book, The Perfect Guests, was published by Little Brown in 2021.
