A szerzőről
Heather Morris
Új-Zélandról származik, de jelenleg Ausztráliában él, és egy nagy nyilvános kórházban dolgozik Melbourne-ben. Több évig tanult és írt forgatókönyveket, az egyik forgatókönyvét egy Oscar-díjas forgatókönyvíró választotta ki az Egyesült Államokban. 2003-ban megismerkedett egy idős úrral, aki "talán egy olyan történetet tud mesélni, amely érdemes a mesélésre". Az a nap, amikor Lale Sokolovval találkozott, megváltoztatta az életét, ahogy barátságuk növekedett, és Lale elindult egy önvizsgálat útján, megosztva a holokauszt alatti életének legbelsőbb részleteit. Eredetileg Lale történetét forgatókönyvként írta meg – amely nemzetközi versenyeken magas rangot ért el – mielőtt átalakította debütáló regényévé, Auschwitzi tetováló-vá.
