Inga Grencberga
Inga Grenberga is a mental health activist and a self-proclaimed “bookaholic”. She is the author of two bestselling novels, both inspired by true events. Her debut novel, The Sixth Wife (Sestā Sieva), caused a sensation in Latvia when it was published in 2020, topping book charts for two consecutive years.
While her writing is imbued with an elegant, almost otherworldly style, Inga does not shy away from addressing thought-provoking societal taboos that reflect women’s experiences but are rarely explored in fiction. These include abortion, major depression, and the long-term effects of emotional abuse.
In 2024, she released her second bestseller, Maria/deɪʒɑ ˈv(j)u/, which she hopes to bring to anglophone audiences next.
