About Miriam Vaswani

Miriam Vaswani has escaped the Moscow heatwave to spend another August at the Edinburgh International Book Festival. Before moving to Russia, Miriam, from Atlantic Canada, lived in Glasgow for much of the last decade where she worked in housing and homelessness. Now a language teacher, writer and blogger, Miriam has travelled extensively. Her adventures include working in Burma, driving an autorickshaw up an Indian mountain, living in a tree and owning a fantastic flat in Paisley for a few years. She'll return to her authentic Soviet apartment beside the Babayevskii chocolate factory in Moscow this September.
