Brenda Lelie

Brenda Lelie (1984) studied psychology in the Netherlands. After falling in love with Latvia and moving to an old wooden house in a Latvian forest she discovered that no Latvian literature had been yet translated directly from Latvian to Dutch and decided to pick up this task. She took part in literary mentor programs both in Latvia and in the Netherlands. In 2023 her first translation (of Nora Ikstena's Mātes piens) will be published in the Netherlands by Uitgeverij Koppernik.
