Annette Corkhill

Annette Corkhill is a novelist, poet, linguist and translator.

Mango Bridge Club is her second novel. Her first was a humorous, co-authored bridge novel-cum-manual, Mabel and Mary’s Light Bulb Bridge, which appeared in 2014.

Her poems have been published in anthologies and poetry magazines, and she is the author of two books on Australian migrant writing: The Immigrant Experience in Australian Literature, and Australian Writing: Ethnic Writers 1945-1991.

Annette has been playing bridge for over 30 years. Mango Bridge Club adopts the gently satirical and persuasively indulgent perspective of an insider well acquainted with the many peculiarities of the game and its players.

Annette is now retired from her translation business and free to pursue her passions for writing, singing, travel, foreign languages and cultures, and of course, bridge.
