Kerry Hudson was born in Aberdeen. Her first novel, TONY HOGAN BOUGHT ME AN ICE-CREAM FLOAT BEFORE HE STOLE MY MA was the winner of the Scottish First Book Award and shortlisted for the Guardian First Book Award and the Polari First Book Award. Her memoir, LOWBORN, took her back to the towns of her childhood as she investigated her own past and what it means to be poor in Britain today. It was a Radio 4 Book of the Week and a Guardian and Independent Book of the Year.
