Julian Gloag

Julian Gloag (born 2 July 1930) is an English novelist and screenwriter. He is the author of eleven novels, the best known of which is his first, Our Mother’s House (1963), which was made into a film of the same name starring Dirk Bogarde. Gloag was born in London, where he was largely brought up. He attended Magdalene College, Cambridge, and then emigrated to the United States before settling in France. Though his literary reputation has declined somewhat in Britain, he remains popular in France, where he has lived much of his life, and there most of his work is available in translation from Gallimard.
