Lisa Jewell

出生: July 19, 1968 – London, England, United Kingdom

Lisa Jewell is a British novelist known for contemporary fiction and psychological suspense, including Ralph’s Party, Then She Was Gone, The Family Upstairs, and None of This Is True. A Sunday Times and New York Times bestselling author, she is noted for twist-driven domestic narratives and broad international readership.

传记与作者历程

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.
