About Monique Layton


Picture
Monique with Claude Lévi-Strauss

​Monique Layton graduated in comparative literature (MA.) and cultural anthropology (PhD.) from the University of British Columbia. ​

​After spending years in Morocco, France, and Great Britain, she settled in Vancouver, where she now lives with John. 


A former quilter and miniature maker, she applies to her writing the same crafting principles of picking interesting bits and pieces and attempting to make coherent wholes out of them.

​With five children, eleven grandchildren, and five great-grandchildren, she considers herself a matriarch, but acknowledges she does not possess the wisdom that should go with the title.
