==Biography==
Maggie was born in Northern Ireland and grew up in Wales and Scotland. At the age of eight she missed a year of school due to a viral infection,〔Sale, Jonathan (17 May 2007) ("Passed/Failed: An education in the life of Maggie O'Farrell" ), ''The Independent''〕 an event that is echoed in ''The Distance Between Us''. Maggie worked as a journalist, both in Hong Kong and as the Deputy Literary Editor of ''The Independent on Sunday''. She has also taught creative writing.
She is married to the novelist William Sutcliffe, whom she met at Cambridge. They now live together in Edinburgh, with their two children.〔S.n.(s.d.) ("Meet Maggie" ), ''Maggie O'Farrell''
〕 She has described Sutcliffe as 'a huge influence', saying, 'Will's always been my first reader, even before we were a couple, so he's a huge influence. He's brutal but you need that'.〔Day, Elizabeth (24 February 2012) ("Maggie O'Farrell: 'My writing is tougher and much better since I had children'" )〕
