The AuthorJack Leman was born into a Jewish family in Istanbul, a city whose rich cultural heritage continues to influence his perspective. He later moved to Switzerland, where he completed his education and earned a degree in chemical engineering. His career led him across Europe, the Middle East, and Asia, including several years in Beijing developing his own business. Today, he divides his time between Istanbul and Switzerland. Drawing on a lifetime of international experience and his Jewish heritage, he writes stories that explore identity, distance, and belonging. These themes are reflected in his novel, Under the Same Sky. He is the father of three daughters and a proud grandfather of two and is now working on his next novel.
