Jill Paton Walsh

Jill Paton Walsh, CBE (* 29. April 1937 in London als Gillian Bliss; † 18. Oktober 2020 in Huntingdon) war eine britische Schriftstellerin.

Leben

Gillian Bliss besuchte die Schule St. Michael’s Convent[1] in North Finchley, London. Sie studierte englische Literaturwissenschaft am St Anne’s College der Universität Oxford. Ihr Bruder ist der Volkswirtschaftler Christopher John Emile Bliss, der 1992–2007 Professor in Oxford war.

1961 heiratete sie Antony Paton Walsh, von dem sie sich 1986 trennte. Aus der Ehe gingen ein Sohn und zwei Töchter hervor. 2004 heiratete sie den Kinderbuchautor John Rowe Townsend, der 2014 verstarb. Ihr dritter Ehemann war seit September 2020 Nicholas Herbert, der 3. Baron Hemingford.

Bekannt wurde Paton Walsh zunächst durch ihre Kinderbücher, für die sie mehrere renommierte Preise gewann. Später verlegte sie sich mehr und mehr auf Bücher für Erwachsene, darunter Kriminalromane um die Amateurdetektivin Imogen Quy, eine Krankenschwester im (fiktiven) St. Agatha’s College der University of Cambridge. Von den Erben von Dorothy L. Sayers wurde sie ausgewählt, um den unvollendeten letzten Kriminalroman der legendären Reihe um Lord Peter Wimsey fertigzustellen. Später veröffentlichte sie noch drei weitere Romane um Lord Peter.

Paton Walsh lebte zuletzt in Cambridge, nachdem sie zuvor lange in Richmond (Surrey) gelebt hatte. Sie starb im Oktober 2020 im Alter von 83 Jahren.[2]
