Anne Perry , of his true name Juliet Hulme , born with Blackheath close to London, the October 12th 1938, is a British author of detective novels victoriens.
It is the girl of Henry Hulme, astronomer, nuclear physicist and mathematician and of a mother of presbytérienne confession.
In order to look after the tuberculosis whose child was reached, its family initially sent it in sanatoria located at the the Antilles then in South Africa.
The choice of his/her father to accept in 1948 its nomination as vice-chancellor of the University of Canterbury, near to Christchurch (New Zealand), was certainly influenced by the possibility of making look after the child in one of the many famous sanatoria of the country (one finds the trace of this specialization in the work of Ngaio Marsh, other New Zealand queen of the crime and ).
The youth of Anne Perry was animated, since it was continued and condemned, in 1954, for the murder of the mother of a “very close friend”, achieved with this one. This tormented episode of its life, having had as theater the New Zealand where she lived then, is directly at the origin of the film celestial Créatures (1994), Co-writing and by-product by Frances Walsh and her husband Peter Jackson, who will ensure the realization of it.
It seems to have profited from a measurement of leniency, since the family will regain the the United Kingdom in 1959, five years after the drama.
Its need for writing always seems to have existed, in any case as of its first hospitalizations in its childhood, marked by escapes in the imaginary one (it frequently quotes Alice of Lewis Carroll), but it will be necessary for him to await a score of years before seeing its crowned efforts of success by the publication into 1979 of the Throttle valve of Cater Street , first of long series of deserved successes.
Time does not seem however to have erased all the wounds tested in its youth by Anne Perry, since all its detective novels victoriens testify to a revolt against the “propriety prude of which affuble the good company victorienne” (according to the terms of the critical Bulletin of the French book ).
She lives from now on in Scotland.
Without forsaking its “specialization victorienne”, it however carried out some incursions into the field of the fantastic literature and undertook new detective series having for framework the Paris of the French revolution, then another having for framework the First World War.
