Although born in the UK, Nigel Patten has lived in Switzerland since the 1960's. In addition to writing 5 novels and a 3-act play, he teaches English literature for the French Baccalaureate in an international alpine college. He has travelled extensively on all continents, driving to India and back and across the Sahara. He is also a keen cross country skier and mountain walker.
Nigel Patten’s novels are set in different historical periods, but his greatest interest lies in developing a style combining poetic prose and the stream of consciousness.Although born in the UK, Nigel Patten has lived in Switzerland since the 1960's.
