Intrigue mounts in this search for a missing daughter - and for love.
Charlotte Grimshaw is the author of eleven critically acclaimed
books to date, encompassing novels, short stories and memoir.
A reviewer in The New Zealand Listener noted- 'A swarming energy
pervades every page she writes . . . her descriptive writing has
always been of the highest order. Most of it would work just as
well as poetry.'
She is a winner of the BNZ Katherine Mansfield Award. Her story
collection Opportunity was shortlisted for the prestigious Frank
O'Connor International Prize, and Opportunity won New Zealand's
premier Montana Award for Fiction, along with the Montana Medal for
Book of the Year. She was also the Montana Book Reviewer of the

novels were made into a TV series, The Bad Seed, which screened on
TV One in 2019. Her novel Mazarine was longlisted for the 2019

In 2014, Charlotte Grimshaw and her husband Paul Grimshaw, along

Charlotte Grimshaw is also a literary advisor for the Sargeson
Trust. She has been involved in writing courses for young people
run by the Michael King Writers' Centre. She has judged the Sunday
Star-Times Short Story award twice, and the Auckland University
Ingenio short story award twice, and was the judge of the premier
award of the 2014 BNZ Katherine Mansfield short story prize. She is

Literature.
"Charlotte is one of New Zealand's most accomplished and acclaimed
writers with a significant publishing record. She has few peers as
a fiction writer and essayist, and as a reviewer and public
intellectual. Her work for newspapers and magazines reveals her
curiosity about the world, her immersion in contemporary politics
and social issues; it demonstrates her clear-sighted thinking,
willingness to interrogate and expose, and desire to engage with
difficult topics. Her writing can be searing and fearless. Her work
as a fiction writer wins literary awards and is adapted for
television, a rare combination anywhere, especially for an author
who is not writing commercial or historical fiction." - Dr Paula
