Catherine Hanrahan is a Canadian writer,[1] whose debut novel Lost Girls and Love Hotels was a shortlisted finalist for the Rogers Writers' Trust Fiction Prize in 2007.[2] The novel was based on her own experience living and working in Tokyo as an English teacher.[3] She works now at IES Enskede in Sweden as a teacher.
The novel was later optioned by Jean-Marc Vallée for adaptation as a feature film, which would have starred Kate Bosworth.[4] The film was not made at that time, and it was not until 2017 that a new production was announced. Lost Girls & Love Hotels was written by Hanrahan, and directed by William Olsson.
