Maggie O'Farrell

Forfatterbiografi

Maggie O’Farrell (født 1972 i Coleraine i County Londonderry i Nordirland) er en britisk forfatter, der skriver romaner med stærkt psykologisk fokus og en særlig forkærlighed for familiehistorier, hemmeligheder og brudflader i menneskelige relationer. Hendes gennembrud kom med debutromanen After You’d Gone, som høstede anerkendelse og bl.a. vandt Betty Trask Award. Senere slog hun også igennem internationalt med The Hand That First Held Mine, der vandt Costa Novel Award i 2010, og med hendes efterfølgende bøger, hvor tid, stemninger og livsvilkår flettes sammen i rigt detaljerede fortællinger. O’Farrell regnes som en markant stemme inden for moderne historisk og realistisk fiktion, og hun har udvidet sit forfatterskab med både memoir og andre udgivelser. Hendes roman HAMNET vandt Women’s Prize for Fiction i 2020, og den pris forankrede hende yderligere som en litterær forfatter med stor betydning for samtidslitteraturen. Af hendes værker kan bl.a. nævnes HAMNET, I Am, I Am, I Am samt en række anmelderroste romaner som The Hand That First Held Mine og Instructions for a Heatwave.
