経歴と著者の歩み

Sophie Kinsella, the pen name of Madeleine Sophie Wickham, was born in London in 1969, one of three daughters of teachers. A gifted pianist and violinist, she went to New College, Oxford, intending to study music, then changed course after a year and completed a degree in philosophy, politics and economics. Writing was not, by her own later account, a fixed childhood ambition. The decisive early turn came after university, when she worked as a financial journalist and began to see how the rhythms, anxieties, and absurdities of modern working life could be transformed into fiction.
