Gemma O'Connor (writer)

Gemma O'Connor ( born 1940 in Dublin) is an Irish writer.

O'Connor was born in 1940 in Dublin and grew up in Ireland and France. After working as a bookbinder and restorer and as an editor, she began to write, including on women in the life of Joyce and Swift, before it was known since the mid- 1990s as an author of detective novels and thrillers soft. The recurring, fundamental and stressed motif O'Connor in her novels is the aftereffect or the life-determining influence of unknown or repressed events of the past in the present.

Together with her husband O'Connor lives in a cottage in Oxford. Her work is published in German, translated by Inge Leipold predominantly in the Piper Verlag.
