Anne Marie Løn (born 1947) is a Danish writer who initially worked as a journalist in Copenhagen for newspapers including the tabloid B.T.. As a novelist, she made her debut with Hvorfor hvisker I til mig? (Why Do You Whisper To Me?) in 1977, followed in 1982 by the more successful Veras vrede (Vera's Anger), in which she expresses her frustration with city life and its tabloids. Her love of the countryside is apparent in many later works such as Foretid (Times Past, 1984) or Den sorte liste (The Black List, 1988). Her awards include the cherished Weekendavisen Book Award in 1998.[1][2][3]
Born on 12 July 1947 in the parish of Tranebjerg on the Danish island of Samsø, Anne Marie Løn was the daughter of the veterinarian Otto Løn (1914–85) and his wife, the registrar Ingerid Glob (born 1915). With her partner, the veterinarian Erik Dam Sørensen, she had three children: Ida (1879), Emil (1984) and Nina (1985).[1] The youngest of the family's four children, she was raised in Vendsyssel in the north of Jutland where her father first had a practice. When she was 12, following her father, the family moved to Herning. There she completed her education with bookkeeping and clerical work.[4]
