Charles Lambert

Charles Lambert was born in 1953. After going to eight different schools in the Midlands and Derbyshire, he went to Cambridge in 1972. In 1976 he moved to Milan and, apart from brief spells in Ireland, Portugal and London, has lived and worked in Italy since then. Currently a university teacher, academic translator and freelance editor for international agencies, he lives in Fondi, exactly halfway between Rome and Naples. His first novel, Little Monsters, was published in 2008, the same year as his collection of prize-winning stories, The Scent of Cinnamon and Other Stories. Any Human Face, his second novel and the first in a trilogy set in modern-day Rome, is now available.
