“...the novel which takes a real person and their real history as the subject matter for imaginative exploration."

 

A true story unfolds in an embracing and magical tale.

 

 

(An  autobiographical novel  is a form of  novel  using  auto fiction  techniques or the merging of  autobiographical  and fictive elements. The  literary technique is distinguished from an autobiography or  memoir  by the stipulation of being  fiction).

Names and locations are changed and some events are recreated to make them more dramatic but the story still bears a close resemblance to that of the author's life. While the events of the author's life are recounted, there is no pretence of exact truth.

Events may be exaggerated or altered for artistic or thematic purposes.
