Julia Leigh was born in Sydney in 1970 where she later studied philosophy and law. Her first novel, The Hunter (1999) was a huge success, for which she was awarded numerous prizes in Australia, America and England. It has been translated into six different languages. Her second novel, Disquiet (2008), recounts the story of Olivia who leaves Australia with her two children to move to the family chateau in France where she grew up. Disturbing, fascinating and timeless, Disquiet is a roman noir which leaves us suspended in a nightmare.
