About the Author
Claire Kilroy's debut novel All Summer was described in The Times as 'compelling ... a thriller, a confession and a love story framed by a meditation on the arts', and was awarded the 2004 Rooney Prize for Irish Literature. Her second novel, Tenderwire was shortlisted for the 2007 Irish Novel of the Year and the Kerry Group Irish Fiction Award. It was followed, in 2009, by the highly acclaimed novel, All Names Have Been Changed. Educated at Trinity College, she lives in Dublin.
Review
'I want to write a letter to the conservator. I have no conception of how the conservator would take it. His relationship with the painting is so entirely different to mine... "Dear Sir", the letter will say. "My name is Anna Hunt. I am the woman who stole Girl in the Mirror'".
