Kirsten Bett (1 July 1962, Auckland, New-Zealand) started writing as soon as she could read, before she was taken to the Netherlands as a 10-year old and lost herself in a language full of throaty sounds and unfamiliar articles.
“As a solution I just put ‘het’ before every word instead of the other article ‘de’ but I got told of for that as well.”
Back in New Zealand, after many years, Kirsten gained a Diploma in Creative writing from Whitireia Polytechnic. She wrote her first book My name is Wilma in 2021, after they’d moved back to the Netherlands. She also translated and edited this book for Dutch readers.
Both the English and the Dutch version received a lot of good reviews. Here are a couple:
“I highly recommend this book, it would make a fantastic present.”
“Great book, it grabbed me right from the start.”
“Beautiful descriptions and insights.”
