Margriet de Moor was born in Noordwijk, the Netherlands, in 1941.
After a career as a classical singer, de Moor made her writing debut with a collection of stories, Op de rug gezien (Seen From Behind), followed by three novellas in one volume, Dubbelportret (Double Portrait). These books earned her the Lucy B. and C.W. van der Hoogt Prize in 1990.
Her highly praised first novel, First Grey, Then White, Then Blue, won her the AKO Literature Prize, for which her second novel, The Virtuoso, was also nominated.
She has since published other novels, including Duke of Egypt and The Kreutzer Sonata.
