Deutsch
Charlotte Link (* 5. Oktober 1963 in Frankfurt am Main) ist eine deutsche Schriftstellerin. Sie gehört zu den erfolgreichsten deutschen Autorinnen der Gegenwart
Charlotte Link wurde 1963 als Tochter der Autorin Almuth Link in Frankfurt am Main geboren. Ihr Abitur legte sie an der Christian-Wirth-Schule in Usingen ab. Weniger aus Familientradition - ihr Vater war Richter am Oberlandesgericht - vielmehr weil sie gegen Unrecht an Tieren vorgehen wollte, studierte sie sechs Semester lang Jura an der Universität Frankfurt.[1] Sie wechselte aber 1986 nach München zu den Fächern Geschichte und Literaturwissenschaft, die ihre literarische Arbeit unterfütterten.[1] An ihrem Erstlingswerk Die schöne Helena begann sie bereits mit 16 Jahren zu schreiben, sie konnte es dann mit 19 Jahren veröffentlichen.[2]

Sie wurde sowohl mit Gesellschaftsromanen als auch mit psychologischen Spannungsromanen in englischer Erzähltradition bekannt. Die Titel Sturmzeit, Wilde Lupinen und Die Stunde der Erben sind eine Trilogie, die neben anderen Werken vom ZDF für das Fernsehen in dem Fünfteiler Sturmzeit verfilmt wurde. Der Roman Am Ende des Schweigens wurde 2004 in der Kategorie Belletristik für den Deutschen Bücherpreis nominiert, ihr 2000 erschienener Roman Die Rosenzüchterin führte mehrere Wochen die Spiegel-Bestsellerliste an. Die Gesamtauflage ihrer Romane liegt bei über 20 Millionen.

2014 erschien ihr Buch über die letzten Jahre ihrer an Krebs erkrankten Schwester Franziska, die sie während ihrer Krankheit begleitete.

Charlotte Link lebt zurzeit mit ihrem Lebensgefährten in Wiesbaden.

Als aktive Tierschützerin engagiert sie sich für PETA und die Straßenhunde der Türkei und Spaniens

Quotes by Charlotte Link (?)

“You are no longer a young girl who believes that she should be out of life what is best. Just nothing you do not. A couple of times you get lucky and drop you from the sky this or that, accidentally and undeservedly, but most of the things you have to fight it alone and you can enjoy if you get half of what you wanted.”
― Charlotte Link, Das Haus der Schwestern

“Un tempo era stata molto innamorata di lui, aveva sperato che lui ricambiasse i suoi sentimenti. Ovviamente non era successo, era un uomo troppo attraente per farsi conquistare da una donna anonima come Kate. A un certo punto se ne era resa dolorosamente conto. Lui le voleva bene e l'apprezzava e in un certo senso gli era diventata indispensabile. Ma non provava alcuna attrazione nei suoi confronti. Questo non sarebbe mai cambiato. Era qualcosa che doveva accettare.”
