Julia Quinn is a romance novelist who has been praised for her ability to write intelligent, realistic, and healthy depictions of relationships, despite the historical periods in which they are usually set. As a Harvard University graduate without a clear career path, Quinn studied medicine for several years before giving this up in favour of writing full-time. Her work has since appeared on the New York Times bestseller list nearly twenty times, and she has been inducted into the Romance Writers of America’s Hall of Fame; a coveted honour that she shares with only fifteen other authors.Her most popular series, which features the 19th century Bridgerton family, includes nine novels and has received a variety of critical acclaim. In 2018 it was announced that this series would be adapted into a Netflix show by the production company Shondaland.
