About the author
Joy Fielding
137 books2,296 followersJoy Fielding (née Tepperman; born March 18, 1945) is a Canadian novelist and actress. She lives in Toronto, Ontario.
Born in Toronto, Ontario, she graduated from the University of Toronto in 1966, with a Bachelor of Arts in English Literature. As Joy Tepperman, she had a brief acting career, appearing in the film Winter Kept Us Warm (1965) and in an episode of Gunsmoke. She later changed her last name to Fielding (after Henry Fielding) and began writing novels.
Fielding is also the screenwriter of the television film Golden Will: The Silken Laumann Story.
At the age of 8, Joy Tepperman wrote her first story and sent it into a local magazine, and at age 12 sent in her first TV script, however both were rejected. She had a brief acting career, eventually giving it up to write full-time in 1972. She has published to date 22 novels, two of which were converted into film. Fielding's process of having an idea to the point the novel is finished generally takes a year, the writing itself taking four to eight months. Joy Fielding sets most of her novels in American cities such as Boston and Chicago. She has said that she prefers to set her novels in "big American cities, [as the] landscape seems best for [her] themes of urban alienation and loss of identity. Fielding is a Canadian citizen. Her husband's name is Warren, and they have two daughters, Annie and Shannon. They have property in Toronto, Ontario, as well as Palm Beach, Florida.
Fielding had an interview with the Vancouver Sun in 2007, just after her publication of Heartstopper. She enjoys catching readers off guard with the endings of her stories, but insists that "[it] isn't what her fiction is about", but rather more about the development of her characters. Discussing her novels with the Toronto Star in 2008, she said "I might not write fiction in the literary sense. But I write very well. My characters are good. My dialog is good. And my stories are really involving. I'm writing exactly the kind of books I like to write. And they're the kind of books I like to read. They're popular commercial fiction. That's what they are."
Fielding has been noted as a novelist who is more popular in the United States and foreign countries, rather than in her native Canada. For example, the novel Kiss Mommy Goodbye was more popular in the States, and See Jane Run in Germany. In addition, she had an American agent and publisher, although she has now switched to a Canadian publisher.

Malgré que ce soit encore l’histoire d’un enfant enlevé, j’ai beaucoup aimé ma lecture ! Ce roman se lit tout seul, les pages défilent et l’envie de connaître le dénouement est irrésistible !!
Quand un couple décide d’aller fêter son anniversaire de mariage, et de laisser leur 2 filles seules dans la chambre d’hôtel le temps d’un repas. Ce n’est jamais une bonne idée. Lorsqu’ils rentrent, une des filles à disparu. Qui ? Pourquoi ? Quinze ans après, nous voilà toujours plongé dans ce mystère et dans l’enquête.
J’ai carrément retenu mon souffle et j’étais stressé pendant ma lecture. J’avais certains doutes sur certains protagonistes, j’avais plus ou moins deviné une partie de la résolution du mystère mais pas tout !
Michelle m’a fait beaucoup de peine … on ressent vraiment qu’elle est mise de côté et qu’elle essaye de s’en sortir durant ces quinze années, qui n’ont été facile pour personnes !
J’ai vraiment apprécié découvrir cette histoire et son déroulement !
