Marina Lewycka

Marina Lewycka è una autrice di narrativa letteraria affermata, di origine ucraina, che attualmente risiede nel Regno Unito. È nata in un campo profughi a Kiel, in Germania, nel 1946, subito dopo la fine della Seconda Guerra Mondiale. Nonostante sia nata in Germania, Lewycka ha pochi ricordi dei suoi primi anni, poiché era molto giovane quando la sua famiglia si trasferì in Inghilterra.

Lewycka non è solo una novelista di successo, ma anche una rispettata accademica e sostenitrice degli anziani. Ha studiato all'Università di Keele e attualmente lavora come docente di studi mediatici presso l'Università di Sheffield Hallam in Inghilterra. Oltre alla sua fiction, Lewycka ha scritto diverse guide pratiche per i familiari che si prendono cura di persone anziane, pubblicate dal ente di beneficenza Age Concern. Queste guide dimostrano il suo impegno per migliorare la vita degli anziani e dei loro caregivers.

Nel corso della sua carriera, Lewycka ha utilizzato la sua scrittura per esplorare temi di famiglia, cultura e identità. Il suo lavoro spesso attinge dalle sue esperienze personali come persona di origine ucraina che vive nel Regno Unito. La sua prospettiva unica e le capacità narrative le hanno valso un posto come una delle voci letterarie più rispettate nel Regno Unito oggi.
