Om forfatteren

Kathryn Hughes (born 1959) is a British academic, journalist and biographer. Educated at Lady Margaret Hall, Oxford University and the University of East Anglia; her doctorate in Victorian history was developed into her first book, The Victorian Governess. She is the Director of Creative Non-Fiction at the University of East Anglia,

Hughes' book George Eliot: The Last Victorian was awarded the 1999 James Tait Black Memorial Prize for biography, and her 2005 biography of Isabella Beeton, The Short Life and Long Times of Mrs Beeton was also well-received, and made the long list for the Samuel Johnson Prize. (Hughes's UEA website stated that the book had made the shortlist, but this turned out not to be true). Reviewing Mrs Beeton in the UK daily newspaper The Independent, Frances Spalding wrote: "There is seemingly no aspect of Victorian life that Kathryn Hughes cannot assimilate and understand from the inside. This is living history, in which massive research and impeccable scholarship is handled with invigorating panache".

Hughes has also reviewed and written for The Guardian, The Economist and The Times Literary Supplement. An occasional presenter of Open Book on BBC Radio 4, she also contributes to the same network's Saturday Review. She is a Fellow of the Royal Historical Society and the Royal Society of Literature.

Det hun skjulte

Mary gemmer på en hemmelighed. For fyrre år siden, traf hun et valg som ændrede hendes verden, og påvirkede én hun elsker.

Beth leder efter svar. Hun har aldrig kendt sandheden om sine forældre, men at finde den kunne redde hendes syge barns liv. Da Beth finder et falmet avisudklip blandt sin mors ting, forstår hun at nøglen til sit barns fremtid, ligger i hendes egen fortid.

Tre forskellige historier væves sammen i et fascinerende og overraskende net, der præsenterer et originalt persongalleri, ægte kærlighed, og dybt bevægende skæbner.

Det Hun Skjulte er en fortælling om udødelig kærlighed, fra en mand til en kvinde, fra en forælder til et barn, og alt hvad mennesker vil gøre for at beskytte dem de elsker.

Denne varme og opløftende historie, er en perfekt læseoplevelse for alle fans af Nicholas Sparks' The Notebook, og Jojo Moyes bøger.
