About the Author
Christine Bell's first novel, Saint, was optioned for a feature film and praised by The Philadelphia Inquirer as "a brilliant first novel, an extraordinary book." The Seven Year Atomic Makeover Guide, a short story collection, was described by The New York Times as "accessible, entertaining and infused with the improvisation energies of a writer who refuses to play it safe." Bell's next novel, The Perez Family, received numerous awards including Notable Adult Fiction of the Year from both the American Library Association and New York Public Library. It was also awarded Notable Book of the Year by The Philadelphia Inquirer and The New York Times, calling it "a loud gaudy sentimental heartbreaker of a book, a triumph." The Perez Family was made into a feature film starring Marisa Tomei and Alfred Molina and directed by Mira Nair.
Bell's newly written novel is Grievance, the story of a young widow approaching the one-year anniversary of her beloved husband's death. Lily Declan is ready to leave the insanity of her grief only to find her family is being stalked by a shadow from her dead husband's past. Who owns the dead? Who owns our memories? How does the young widow trust her raw and shifting emotions in the everyday life that denies death and celebrates life at any cost?
Bell was born and raised in New York, has lived and worked in Miami and Nashville and now lives with her family in the Central Coast of California with writer husband J.F. Freedman.
