Welcome to my website
I hope everyone who visits will enjoy looking round it and finding out about me and my books. Links on this page take you to Books for Adults, Young Adult Books and Books for Children.
There are links also to News and Events and if I write a book review I’ll post it under What I’m Reading.
I will be writing under a pseudonym with my new publisher Michael Joseph as Hope Adams and her books will have a separate page coming soon.

Book Reviews
“Geras has an amazing creativity. She invents and executes the most original plots which she fleshes out with characters so convincing that one feels that one knows them.”
“There are many pleasures in this wonderfully warm and entertaining novel—the subtle, deep exploration of character, a story superlatively well told, and the rich, fun details.”
“The reader will sink into Adele Geras’s sensuous descriptions. As ever, the well-observed characters live warmly on the pages, which I couldn’t help but keep turning. ”

About Me
my name is adele
I was born in Jerusalem in 1944 and spent my early childhood in many different countries because my father was in the Colonial Service. Before I was eleven, I'd lived in Cyprus, Nigeria, and North Borneo and later my parents were also sent to the Gambia and Tanganyika (now Tanzania) where I used to join them for summer holidays. I went to boarding-school in England (Roedean School, Brighton) in 1955 and went on to read French and Spanish at St. Hilda's College, Oxford. I graduated in 1966.
