Born in Devon, England, she is the daughter of writer Robert Graves, and his second wife, Beryl Pritchard (1915–2003).
Her translations include the worldwide bestsellers The Shadow of the Wind, The Angel's Game, The Prisoner of Heaven, and "The Labyrinth of the Spirits", by Carlos Ruiz Zafón, and The Columbus Papers.
She said "I find self-translation a rather strange, slightly uncomfortable experience; the line between author and translator becomes blurred".

As a teenager she attended the International School of Geneva, Switzerland, and subsequently university at Oxford.
