==Life==
Kneale was born in London, the son of screenwriter Nigel Kneale,〔Author interview in ''The Compulsive Reader'', 18 March 2003. (Retrieved 14 November 2013. )〕 and the children's writer Judith Kerr. He was brought up in Barnes, attended Latymer Upper School in West London, and then studied modern history at Magdalen College, Oxford. Growing up, he was fascinated by other cultures, past and present, and as a student he travelled in Europe, South America, Central America and the Indian subcontinent. After graduating he knew he wanted to write but had little idea how to set about such a thing. He traveled to Tokyo, where he found work teaching English and began writing a diary and short stories. Later, on returning to England, his experience in Japan inspired his first novel, ''Whore Banquets''.
During the next few years Kneale lived primarily in London, travelled, spent a year in Rome, and wrote his second novel, ''Inside Rose's Kingdom''. In 1990 he moved to Oxford, where he wrote two historical novels, ''Sweet Thames'' and ''English Passengers''. He also developed an interest in languages, attempting to learn Spanish, Romanian, Albanian and Amharic (Ethiopian). In 2000 he married Shannon Russell and they moved to Italy and Shannon's homeland of Canada. He and his wife now live in Rome with their two children.〔Penguin publishers site. (14 November 2013. )〕
