Letícia Wierzchowski (born June 4, 1972) is a Brazilian novelist best known for her novels A Casa das Sete Mulheres (House of the Seven Women) and Uma Ponte para Terebin (A Bridge to Terebin). She has written fourteen other novels and children's books.

Writing

Wierzchowski was born at Porto Alegre, Brazil on June 4, 1972, the granddaughter of a Polish migrant. Wierzchowski's writing uses elements drawn from both her European family background and the background of their adopted country.[1]

Many of her works are set in historic times of turmoil, revolution and war. Her best known book, A Casa das Sete Mulheres (House of the Seven Women) deals with the lives and relationships of women from a family whose men were occupied in the uprising Ragamuffin War in the mid 19th century. This novel has been translated into five languages and adapted by TV Globo on a broadcast minisseries aired in 23 countries.[1]

Other writing such as her book of children's tales O dragão de Wawel e outras lendas polonesas (The Wawel Dragon and Other Polish Tales) are drawn directly from her Polish heritage, while the adult novel Uma ponte para Terebin (A Bridge to Terebin) tells the story of her grandfather, Jan Wierzchowski, who emigrated to Brazil in 1936, shortly before the outbreak of World War II.[1]
