Background
Information
Born and raised in Malta, Rosanne Dingli draws upon Mediterranean life as a background in many of her stories. She also writes about continental Europe and of course Australia. Her main theme is the human condition, relationships between partners, siblings, and children and parents. Mid-life confusion and adaptation to lifestyle changes are subjects she frequently deals with. The main thrust of her long fiction, however, centres around her love of the Arts. All her novels are cultural adventures that lead the readers through delightful mysteries about music, painting, architecture, and history. Each mystery is carefully embellished with cultural facts that can be looked up by the reader who wants to know more. The locations she uses are in the main personally experienced, and can also be visited. Feasible fiction - verifiable facts.
