A daughter of British immigrants, Dale was educated at Redeemer Lutheran College in Rochedale, a suburb of Brisbane. While studying English literature at the University of Queensland, she wrote ''The Hand that Signed the Paper'', a novel about a Ukrainian family who become both bystanders and perpetrators during the Holocaust. In 1993, the novel won The Australian/Vogel Literary Award for an unpublished manuscript. It was first published in 1994 under the pseudonym Helen Demidenko and won the Miles Franklin Award, becoming the award's youngest winner. The following year, she became the subject of a major Australian literary controversy about her false claims of Ukrainian ancestry. The misrepresentation has been described as a "literary hoax" in ''The Sydney Morning Herald''〔 and the novel was subsequently reissued under her then real name, Helen Darville. Dale is currently a senior adviser to David Leyonhjelm, a Liberal Democrat member of the Australian Senate. ==''The Hand That Signed the Paper'': novel and controversy== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Helen Darville」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
