Bernadette Jiwa

Thank you for visiting my Amazon Author page. While I began my writing apprenticeship a decade ago publishing non-fiction, I'm now devoting my time to writing fiction. My debut novel, THE MAKING OF HER, is a page-turning mother-daughter love story spanning three decades from the 1960s to the 1990s, charting one woman’s journey to claim her agency and escape the legacy of the society that shaped her. THE MAKING OF HER, was chosen as a New York Post Best Book of The Year in 2022. I'm grateful to everyone who has read and reviewed THE MAKING OF HER and taken the characters to their hearts. ———————————————————————————————————————————————————————— Bernadette Jiwa is an Irish Australian writer born into a house with no books and a home full of stories in Dublin.
