Autorenporträt
Lian Hearn studierte moderne Sprachen in Oxford und arbeitete in London als Filmkritikerin und Redakteurin, bevor sie sich in Australien niederließ. Ein lebenslanges Interesse an Japan führte dazu, dass sie Japanisch lernte und das Land unzählige Male bereiste. In Japan selbst wurde auch die Idee zum Clan der Otori geboren.
