Aged 100.
Grew up in Italy. English father, multiethnic mother.
Child of unhappy marriage, suffered a disfiguring injury age 13.
BUT
She received a copy of One Thousand and One Nights for her ninth 
birthday. Could already read French, taught herself Latin. Eventually 
went to London (Bedford College, SOAS) to study languages. "Her 
professor suggested Icelandic, but she chose to study Arabic and later, 
Persian."
Became celebrated for her writings (and photographs) from her travels in 
the Middle East, often to areas little known to the British public.
