Paula Hawkins (26 August 1972) was born and raised in Salisbury, Rhodesia (now Harare, Zimbabwe). She moved to London in 1989 at the age of 17, and later studied philosophy, politics and economics at the University of Oxford. She worked as a journalist for The Times, reporting on business. She then worked for a number of publications on a freelance basis, and wrote a financial advice book for women, The Money Goddess. Around 2009 Hawkins began to write romantic comedy fiction under the name Amy Silver, writing four novels . She did not achieve commercial breakthrough until she challenged herself to write a darker, more serious story. Her best-selling novel of 2015 The Girl on the Train, was a complex thriller with themes of domestic violence, alcohol and drug abuse. Source: Wikipedia
