Anja Jonuleit

Anja Jonuleit, born in 1965, grew up on Lake Constance and spent a few years working for the German Embassy in Rome. After a secondment at the Embassy in Damascus, she studied Italian and English at the SDI in Munich. Back on Lake Constance, she worked as a freelance translator and court interpreter before becoming a full-time writer in 2007. Her books are immensely popular and regular bestsellers. She tackles the big topics of our time with great sensitivity and insight, telling stories of dysfunctional families and relationships, toxic social structures, and threats against which it’s hard to protect ourselves and those around us. Following «Herbstvergessene», «Der Apfelsammler», «Rabenfrauen», «Das letzte Bild» and other novels, she has now written a panoramic two-book family drama («Kaiserwald», out in Spring 2024, and «Solstice», out in Autumn 2024).
