Robin Hobb is one of the world's finest writers of epic fiction.She was born in California in 1952 but raised in Alaska, where she learned how to raise a wolf cub, to skin a moose and to survive in the wilderness. When she married a fisherman who fished herring and the Kodiak salmon-run for half the year, these skills would stand her in good stead. She raised her family, ran a smallholding, delivered post to her remote community, all at the same time as writing stories and novels. She succeeded on all fronts, raising four children and becoming an internationally best-selling writer. She lives in Tacoma, Washington State.
‘Every new Robin Hobb novel is a cause for celebration’
George R.R. Martin 'Hobb is one of the great modern fantasy
writers…what makes her novels as addictive as morphine is not just
their imaginative brilliance but the way her characters are
compromised and manipulated by politics.'
THE TIMES ‘Hobb is a remarkable storyteller’
