Maria Gabriela Llansol was born Maria Gabriela Llansol Nunes da Cunha Rodrigues Joaquim in Lisbon in 1931. Her father, who was of Spanish origin, was an accountant at a paper factory. She took a law degree from Lisbon University and then a degree in education. She initially ran a nursery school, before publishing stories for children. She and her husband then moved to Belgium, to escape the Salazar regime. They joined a cooperative with an experimental school and which made and solid food and furniture. They only moved back to Portugal in 1984, living in Sintra.
She was a very prolific writer but not well-known, even in Portugal. Most of her writing was nominally in the form of a novel and has been considered difficult by many, though she denied this. Her novels often consisted of voices, sometimes of fictitious characters, sometimes of historical ones. She made considerable reference to European history. She also published several diaries and translated various poets from English, French and German. She died in 2008.
