Anne Jacobs

Anne Jacobs grew up in Wiesbaden, where both her parents were actors at the State Theatre. She studied literature and languages and began writing shortly after; initially short stories, later plays, screenplays, and novels. Under various pseudonyms, she has published a number of family sagas and historical novels. The six-part family series The Manor House, which depicts the fate of one family against the backdrop of modern German history, immediately shot to the top of bestseller lists not only in Germany but in many other countries as well. The author's trilogy The Country Estate, which tells of an old manor in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern and portrays the lives of its inhabitants, also achieved great success. Also successful were the two-part novel set in Africa, Heaven over Kilimanjaro and Tender Moon over Usambara, as well as the standalone African novel, Island of a Thousand Stars. Furthermore, the two-part novel Rosen's Atelier and the first four parts of the planned six-part saga, The Angel Café. All the author's books have been published in Czech translation by Euromedia under the Ikar brand. Anne Jacobs lives as a freelance writer near Frankfurt am Main, in a small village in the Taunus mountains, where she gets the best ideas for her novels.
