PROFILE
WRITING IS in Trilby Kent’s DNA. Mom, Cilla, was a journalist in her native South Africa, and dad is Conservative MP Peter Kent, who made a name for himself over the course of a lengthy career as a TV anchor, producer, and foreign correspondent with postings around the globe. “That, combined with being an only child, gave me access to a range of experiences from an early age,” says Kent. “Different cities, different schools, different windows into other ways of living.”
