Seiffert has published five works of fiction to date:

The Dark Room (2001) is a novel, shortlisted for the Booker Prize[3] and the Guardian First Book Award in 2001, winner of the LA Times Prize for First Fiction and a Betty Trask Award in 2002.[4] The 2012 movie Lore by writer-director Cate Shortland is based on The Dark Room.[5]

Seiffert was named as one of Granta magazine's 20 Best of Young British Novelists in 2003, and her short story "Field Study" was included in the subsequent collection.[6]

In 2011, she received the E. M. Forster Award from the American Academy of Arts and Letters.

Subjects

Seiffert's subject is the individual in history: how political and economic upheavals impact on ordinary lives. Her characters have included the 12-year-old daughter of an SS officer in 1945, a Polish seasonal worker on a German asparagus farm after the fall of the Berlin Wall, and a London painter and decorator who killed a civilian as a 19-year-old squaddie with the British Army in Northern Ireland during the Troubles.
