Author’s Biography
A native New Englander, Elise Hooper spent several years writing for television and online news outlets before getting a MA and teaching high-school literature and history. Her debut novel The Other Alcott was a nominee for the 2017 Washington Book Award. Three more novels—Learning to See, Fast Girls, and Angels of the Pacific—followed, all centered on the lives of extraordinary but overlooked historical women. Her next book, The Library of Lost Dollhouses (releasing 4.1.25) is inspired by a dollhouse that’s been in her family for five generations. Elise lives in Seattle with her husband and two daughters.
Learn more about Elise on her website.
