University of Cape Town.
Born and raised in Southern Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe), Schonstein presently lives in South Africa. She was schooled in a convent for six years from the age of nine. Later she lived in Grahamstown, where - observing the constant raids on homes in the black townships below, and realising the lack of black characters in children"s books - she resolved to write her own stories, poems and songs for children.
After gaining a master"s degree in creative writing from the University of Cape Town, supervised by J. M. Coetzee, she became a full-time author
The book was infamous for its extremely liberal writing on illegal immigrants.
