Life and career Keith was born in Wellington in 1942. She is the daughter of ceramic artist and painter June Black. She studied zoology and English literature at Victoria University of Wellington. During the 1960s she spent a decade living in London, and returned to New Zealand in 1974, where she worked as a journalist for several years before beginning to write fiction.
