Guadalupe Nettel

Guadalupe Nettel was born in Mexico City and spent part of her childhood in the south of France. From a young age, she suffered from eye problems due to a congenital condition in one of her eyes, probably Peters' syndrome. She was consequently a victim of bullying, a fact that, according to Nettel, was one of the reasons that led her to take refuge in books and start writing.{{Cite web |date=26 June 2014 |title=Guadalupe Nettel: "La ceguera determina mucho lo que escribo" |url=https://diariocorreo.pe/peru/guadalupe-nettel-la-ceguera-determina-much-22853/?ref=dcr |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210124171933/https://diariocorreo.pe/peru/guadalupe-nettel-la-ceguera-determina-much-22853/?ref=dcr |archive-date=24 January 2021 |access-date=24 January 2021 |website=Diario Correo |language=es}} She obtained a PhD in linguistics from the École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales in Paris.
