출생: July 01, 1958 – Toronto, Ontario, Canada
Louise Penny is a Canadian mystery novelist best known for the Chief Inspector Armand Gamache series, beginning with Still Life. Her literary crime fiction explores community, morality, and grief. A multiple Agatha Award winner and CWA Dagger recipient, she has become an internationally bestselling author whose novels are widely translated.
Louise Penny was born in Toronto on July 1, 1958, grew up reading Agatha Christie and Dorothy L. Sayers, and knew from childhood that she wanted to write. She studied radio and television arts at Ryerson Polytechnic Institute, graduating in 1979, and then spent roughly eighteen years at the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation as a journalist and radio host. Those professional years ran alongside a severe struggle with alcoholism and despair; getting sober at thirty-five, and later building a life with the physician Michael Whitehead, became the turning points that reshaped both her private life and her eventual work.
