Born in Reykjavík, Steinunn Sigurðardóttir studied philosophy and psychology at University College Dublin. She made a name for herself at the age of nineteen with a volume of poetry entitled Continuances (Sifellur, 1969). Sigurðardóttir has since become one of Iceland's most frequently translated writers, and one the most lauded, having won the Icelandic Literature Prize, the VISA Cultural Prize, and the Icelandic Broadcasting Service Writer's Prize, and having been nominated for the Nordic Council's Literature Prize and the Aristeion Prize. Sigurðardóttir's extensive body of work includes eleven novels, seven volumes of poetry, several short stories, radio plays, television plays, and a children's book. Her novel The Thief of Time (Tímaþjófurinn, 1986) was adapted to film in France (Voleur de Vie, 1998), directed by Yves Angelo and starring Emmanuelle Béart and Sandrine Bonnaire. After an extensive and fruitful career abroad, most notably in Germany and France, Place of the Heart is Sigurðardóttir's English-language debut.
