Louisa Treger holds a doctorate in English from University College London, where she focused on early 20th Century women’s writing.  A former classical violinist, orchestral player, and music teacher, she lives in London with her husband, three children, and dog. Louisa also devotes much of her time to feeding underprivileged children in the desolate Kurland Village in South Africa. The Lodger is her first novel.
