Born Cassia Joy Summers in the provincial town of Levin, New Zealand, on 7 August 1936, Joy Cowley was the eldest of the five children of Peter Summers and Cassia Gedge. As she records in her memoir, Navigation (2010) , her father suffered from heart disease and her mother from mental illness. The couple fought, but their relationship had a certain warmth, and they loved and cared for their children. The ambiguous flavor of Cowley's family life is reflected in her novels for older children—most recently in The Bakehouse (2015), set during World War II (when Cowley herself was a child).
