O autorovi

Rachel Joyce

Rachel Joyceová je autorka a bývalá herečka. Napsala několik románů, pravidelně píše také pro rozhlas, pro stanici Radio 4 napsala více než 20 původních rozhlasových her, dramatizovala klasické i moderní romány, a pro televizní stanici BBC napsala historický seriál. Jedno z rozhlasových dramat později zpracovala do románové podoby, a tak vznikla kniha Nepravděpodobná pouť Harolda Frye, neočekávaný bestseller s rostoucím mezinárodním úspěchem, nominovaný na Man Booker Prize a vydaný ve více než 30 jazycích. K psaní se dostala po 20-leté kariéře divadelní herečky. Hrála hlavní role v divadlech jako The Royal National Theatre, The Royal Court nebo Cheek by Bowl. Obdržela také cenu Time Out pro nejlepší herečku. Žije v Gloucestershiru s manželem a čtyřmi dětmi.
