Rowena Farre


Genre


Pseudonym of Daphne Lois Macready.

Rowena Farre was a British author who spent her early childhood with her parents in Hong Kong, or possibly India. At the age of ten, her parents sent her to live with an aunt in Scotland and later she wrote her first autobiographical novel based on her life there. During WWII she worked as a Radar Operator on a remote RAF station in Pembrokeshire. Shortly after the publication of her first book in 1957 she disappeared mysteriously and efforts to trace her were unsuccessful. She reappeared in 1962 and published her second book about her life with the gypsies. Her third book, about traveling to the Himalayas to find and learn from a renowned guru, was published in 1969. Rowena Farre died in 1979.

Quotes by Rowena Farre  (?)

“Really there are very few adults these days who possess the mental and emotional self-sufficiency necessary for leading satisfactory existence in these remote parts.
When the day light lasts for only five or six hours, when the Never Silent - as the Norsemen called the wind - howls down the corries and the snow is lying so deep that even the deer are unable to reach the croft in search of food, then one learns what it means to be cut off from the outside world, and either one grows to accept and appreciate spells of complete isolation, or else the isolation begins to sap one's confidence and to terrify.”
Rowena Farre, Seal Morning
