In 2016 he won the European Prize for Literature for his third novel, The End of Loneliness, which remained on the German bestseller list for over a year.
Upon graduating, he moved to Berlin, where he dedicated his time to writing.
At the age of six, he started his journey through three Bavarian boarding schools.
About the author Benedict Wells was born in 1984 in Munich.
With inimitable compassion and luminous, affecting prose, Benedict Wells contends with what it means to find a way through life, while never giving up hope you will find someone to go with you.
A kaleidoscopic family saga told through the fractured lives of the three Moreau siblings, alongside a faltering, recovering love story, The End of Loneliness is a stunning meditation on the power of our memories, of what can be lost and what can never be let go.
But, just as it seems they can make amends for time wasted, invisible forces - whether fate or chance - intervene.
Jules, still adrift, is anchored only by his desires to be a writer and to reunite with Alva, who turned her back on their friendship on the precipice of it becoming more.
Fifteen years pass and the siblings remain strangers to one another, bound by tragedy and struggling to recover the family they once were.
Enrolled in boarding school where he and his siblings, Marty and Liz, are forced to live apart, the once vivacious and fearless Jules retreats inward, preferring to live within his memories - until he meets Alva, a kindred soul caught in her own grief.
