Ishi Robinson was born and raised in Kingston, Jamaica. A Canadian citizen, she has lived in Bern, Toronto, Rome, London and now lives in Berlin with her Czech husband. Her first published work was a short story in Jamaica’s national newspaper when she was eleven years old. At seventeen, she started a weekly column in The Jamaica Observer on teenage life in Kingston. She also previously wrote a weekly column on life as an expat in Rome for a now defunct online magazine. She got back into fiction writing in Berlin, from where she has published short stories in several online publications and one anthology. SWEETNESS IN THE SKIN is her first novel.
SWEETNESS IN THE SKIN will be published Spring 2024 with Penguin Michael Joseph (UK), HarperCollins US, HarperCollins Canada and Garzanti Italy (as La Lettrice Ribelle).
