Alice Kuipers was born in London in 1979. She studied at Manchester and Manchester Metropolitan Universities. In 2003, she moved to Saskatoon, Canada, where she now lives, and is married to the author Yann Martel. Her first novel was Life on the Refrigerator Door (2007). Published in both adult and teen editions, this is a compelling tale about the effects of breast cancer on the relationship between a mother and a daughter, told entirely via notes they leave to each other on the fridge door.
