De duivel van Florence

"One of two daughters of newspaper reporter turned entrepreneur Paul Davidson Grindle and his wife the former Patricia Walsh (which couple also had two sons), Lucretia Grindle was born in Boston MA and would spend her formative years residing with her family either at her parents' American home in Sherborn MA, or at their British home in the Tunbridge Wells village of Benenden where Grindle was first brought at six months of age. Having graduated with a degree in religion from Dartmouth College and subsequently studying theology and philosophy at Oxford University, Grindle then worked as a freelance journalist - said to specialize in ""feature length profile work and sport"" - in both the US and UK and also in Canada: Grindle was also for a time a horse breeder and professional jockey (Grindle's mother, who pre-marriage had spent five years as a circus bareback rider, was the longtime operator of the Moat House riding academy in Benenden).
