Afterwards, she studied literary science in Amsterdam for a year.

1978

In Amsterdam she met her first husband—who was British—with whom she married in 1978.

They moved out to London where Hemmerechts worked as a typist.

1979

In 1979 they were in charge of a youth hostel in Dover.

After a half year, they left Dover and they started traveling in South America for another half year.

When they returned, they settled in Brussels where Hemmerechts took upon a mandate at the KUB as an instructor of English.

1981

In 1981 Hemmerechts gave birth to a daughter, named Katherine.

Two sons followed shortly after that, but both boys died from Sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS).

It received the Prijs van de provincie Brabant.

1990

In 1990 she received the prestigious Vlaamse driejaarlijkse Staatsprijs voor proza.

A recurring theme in Hemmerechts' work is man's incapability to give direction in life.

Characters are faced with the incapability of communicating with others which leads to the inability of creating meaningful human relationships.

Causes are to be sought in feelings of estrangement from the world and the self, loneliness and guilt.

In a lot of her work, Hemmerechts depicts sexuality from a female point of view.

Explicit scenes are the foundation of accusations that say Kristien Hemmerechts deliberately wants to provoke her readers.

Her style is a distant one that registers accounts and thought.

She shows rather than participates as a narrator in her story lines.

1992

In 1992 they got married.

1997

Five years later, in 1997, Herman de Coninck died from a heart failure in Lisbon, Portugal.

1998

2007
