Writing

Jan Sorrento writes about fractured lives, hidden pasts, the meaning of family, and identity.

Her fictional characters inhabit richly textured worlds and face life with dark humour, determination and sometimes blind, brave hope. Despite their challenges, they almost always come through with strength and optimism – no matter how fragile these may seem to be.
