Life and career

Margaretha Maria Antonetta Neefjes, born in Noordwijk, 21 November 1941, married sculptor Heppe de Moor (1938 - 1992). They had two daughters: writer Marente and visual artist Lara. After junior high and the Hogere Burgerschool she attended the Royal Conservatory of The Hague, where she studied piano and singing. Afterward she studied art history and archeology in Amsterdam and taught piano. With her husband, she began an artist salon in 1984 in 's-Graveland.

De Moor began writing, and after a failed attempt at a novel, debuted with a story collection, Op de rug gezien; the collection won her a literary award, the Gouden Ezelsoor, and a nomination for the AKO Literatuurprijs. Many of her works have been translated into German.
