Biografia e Jornada do Autor
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.
