About
Meg Rosoff, 57, was born in Boston and educated at Harvard and Saint Martins College of Art in London. She worked in advertising, but when her sister died of breast cancer, she realised life was too short to put off the novel she wanted to write. The result was How I Live Now, published in 2004, just as Rosoff herself was diagnosed with breast cancer. The book won the Guardian children's fiction prize and was this year turned into a film. Her latest novel is Picture Me Gone. She lives in London with her husband and daughter.
