Esmé van den Boom (1993) is dichter en schrijver. Ze is gedreven door een nieuwsgierigheid naar het alledaagse en verborgen verhalen. Haar werk balanceert tussen fascinatie en ontdekking. Ze was huisdichter van de Rijksuniversiteit Groningen en werd door NRC uitgeroepen tot een van de tien schrijvers om in de gaten te houden. Met Eigen kamers, haar bundel over de dromen en angsten van Groningse vrouwen, won ze het Hendrik de Vriesstipendium. In 2024 en 2025 was ze stadsdichter van Groningen.

Esmé Boom and 3 other people liked Anniek's review of Swept Away:
Swept Away by Beth O'Leary
"Many thanks to PRH International for the digital review copy!

A new Beth O'Leary is always a treat, and I needed a treat, so this is what I picked up.

I've come to expect unique plots from Beth O'Leary, but I think this one firmly crossed into ridiculo" Read more of this review »
