Laura Dave
生年: July 18, 1977 – New York City, New York, United States
Laura Dave is an American novelist known for suspense-driven fiction about family, identity, and relationships. Her bestselling novels include The Last Thing He Told Me and Hello, Sunshine. The Last Thing He Told Me spent months on The New York Times bestseller list, sold millions of copies, and was adapted for television, expanding her mainstream readership.
経歴と著者の歩み
Laura Dave built her career from a long apprenticeship rather than a sudden entrance. Born in New York City in 1977 and raised in Scarsdale, she studied English at the University of Pennsylvania and continued her writing development at the University of Virginia, where she received major creative-writing honors. She has said she wanted to write from childhood, and one of her formative turning points came after graduate school, when she lost an entire novel after spilling water on her computer. Instead of stopping, she started over, a decision that became central to her sense of herself as a working writer.
