The Wonder Year: Lucia Maraver

Lucía was born in Salamanca, Spain. She spent her last year of school with a host family in Exeter, Pennsylvania and that experience is what her debut book is about.She studied Translation and Interpreting at Comillas University in Madrid and then completed a Masters in Translation Studies at Dublin City University.She worked at the Spanish Embassy in Dublin for thirteen years until she realised she wanted her life to take a different direction. When she quit her job at the Embassy she ran her small handcrafted jewellery business for two years. Now she is working in the jewellery field and writing her second book. She lives in Dublin with her husband and two sons. Lucia loves Marian Keyes' books. Some she could read over and over again like Sushi for beginners, The Break, The woman who stole my life... Well, all of them really. One of the things she enjoys the most is reading and usually alternates feel-good romance novels with dark twisty thrillers. Complete opposites!
