Emma van Straaten



Emma van Straaten is a writer of British Mauritian heritage living in London with her husband and two children.

In 2021, she won the inaugural Women’s Prize Discoveries Award with an early partial draft of her debut novel, which is about a young woman who becomes obsessed by the man whose flat she cleans. Described as “a chilling book by an exciting new voice” by Vogue, it explores issues of class, race, gender, body image and shame.

This is her first novel; it is published in the UK under the title This Immaculate Body, and in the USA as Creep: A Love Story.
