Esther Freud

author United Kingdom

Esther Freud is a British author known for her evocative novels that often draw from her own life experiences. Born in 1963, she is the daughter of renowned painter Lucian Freud and the great-granddaughter of Sigmund Freud. Her debut novel, 'Hideous Kinky,' published in 1992, explores her unconventional childhood spent in Morocco and has since been adapted into a film. Freud's works often delve into themes of family dynamics, identity, and the complexities of growing up, as seen in her latest novel, 'My Sister and Other Lovers,' which revisits the character Lucy from 'Hideous Kinky' and examines the impact of an unconventional upbringing on her life and relationships.
