Jessie Couvrier ("Tasma") is best known for her best-selling novel of 1888, "Uncle Piper of Piper's Hill" - greeted then as one of the novels of the year in Europe. Tasma's life story takes her from childhood and early society marriage in Tasmania and Victoria; then Europe with her family; divorce from her husband; an independent career as speaker and journalist based in Brussels; marriage to August Couvrier; novel- and journal-writing; to the conclusion of her life and career as the "London Times" correspondent in Brussels. This is the story of a remarkable, independent woman whose life and literary works deserve an important place in Australia's history. Pat Clarke is the author of "The Governesses", "A Colonial Woman", "Pen Portraits" and "Pioneer Writer". She is also co-editor with Dale Spender of "Life Lines".
