Biografie & Werdegang des Autors
Lisa Jewell was born in London in 1968 and studied art and design at Barnet College before continuing at Epsom School of Art and Design, where her training was tied to fashion and visual communication. Before fiction became her profession, she worked in fashion, public relations, and office jobs. The decisive turn came after she was made redundant in the mid-1990s: during a holiday conversation, a friend challenged her to write three chapters of a novel, which led to agent interest, a Penguin deal, and the publication of Ralph’s Party in 1999. That debut became the best-selling debut novel of the year and established her as a commercial novelist with strong instincts for character and urban relationships.
