About the Author
|
Helen Dunmore was born in Yorkshire in 1952. She has published eight novels with Penguin, including: Zennor in Darkness, which won the McKitterick Prize; A Spell of Winter, which won the Orange Prize; The Siege, which was shortlisted for the 2001 Whitbread Novel of the Year Award and for the Orange Prize for Fiction 2002; and Mourning Ruby.
She works in several genres including novels, poetry, and children.Helen says ‘for me, depth of character, vibrancy of character, depth of emotion and a fascination with the way each individual's story plays itself out is at the heart of novel-writing. The language has got to be fully alive - I can't bear dull, flaccid writing myself and I don't see why any reader should put up with it’.
When she was living in Finland after graduating from York University, she wrote poems which she didn't show to anyone at the time. However, she began to submit poems to British magazines, and some were accepted. Her first collection of poems was published by Bloodaxe Books, which was then a very new imprint. Fiction came quite a while later. She began with short stories and fiction for children her first published novel was , Zennor in Darkness.
She says of her books: ‘I hope that readers will tear through my books because they can't stop themselves - and then, maybe, read them again and find new things there.’
