Originally from Ireland, Bernadette Jiwa migrated to Melbourne and started her writing career as a blogger and non-fiction writer - later becoming a storytelling adviser and the author of ten Amazon bestselling non-fiction titles. 

In 2019, Bernadette began writing what would become her debut novel. 

Called 'The Making of Her' (published by Penguin), Bernadette has written a mesmerising human story. A page-turning, can't-look-away mother-daughter story about the devastating consequences of a single decision and whether the past can ever truly be forgotten. 

A stunning story. 

I had the privilege of chatting with Bernadette for the podcast a little while ago.
