เกี่ยวกับผู้แต่ง
Marie Belloc Lowndes (1868–1947) was an esteemed British novelist and writer, who garnered recognition for her psychological thrillers and an ability to delve into the darker aspects of the human psyche. Born in Marylebone, London, she was the daughter of French barrister Louis Belloc and English feminist Bessie Rayner Parkes. Marie was also the elder sister of the noted Catholic writer, Hilaire Belloc. Her literary prowess began to blossom in the shadow of the late-Victorian era, making her mark with a subtle narrative style often likened to that of Henry James.
Lowndes authored numerous novels and short stories, but she is perhaps most famously known for ‘The Lodger’ (1913), a novel inspired by the Jack the Ripper murders which cemented her reputation for psychological depth and suspense. ‘The Chink in the Armour’ (1912) is another significant work that epitomizes her keen understanding of fear and the frailties within human nature. She adeptly used her writings as a reflection of the societal norms and the often unvoiced experiences of women during early 20th century Britain. A prolific author, Lowndes’s contributions to the literary world have influenced crime and mystery genres, with her works remaining a testament to her narrative craft and enduring legacy.
