Clare Chambers è una autrice inglese affermata, nota soprattutto per i suoi romanzi "Piccoli piaceri" e "Imparare a nuotare". È nata a Croydon, Surrey, Inghilterra, Regno Unito, nel 1966, da genitori inglesi entrambi insegnanti. Chambers ha trascorso l'infanzia nel sud-est di Londra e ha frequentato una scuola locale. A sedici anni ha incontrato il suo futuro marito, Peter, più grande di lei di 14 anni.
Chambers ha studiato inglese all'Oxford e ha trascorso un anno in Nuova Zelanda dopo la laurea, durante il quale ha scritto il suo primo romanzo, "Termini incerti". Da allora ha scritto un totale di dieci romanzi, tra cui "Imparare a nuotare", che ha vinto il Romantic Novel of the Year Award dell'Romantic Novelists' Association nel 1999. Un altro lavoro degno di nota, "In una buona luce", è stato selezionato per il Whitbread Best Novel Prize.
Prima della sua carriera di scrittrice, Chambers ha lavorato come segretaria presso l'editore André Deutsch, dove ha avuto l'opportunità di lavorare con Diana Athill. Successivamente è diventata editor di fiction e non-fiction presso la stessa azienda, prima di lasciare per crescere una famiglia e dedicarsi alla sua scrittura. Le esperienze di Chambers presso André Deutsch hanno ispirato il suo romanzo "La moglie dell'editore". Ha anche scritto due romanzi per giovani adulti, "Ragazze brillanti" e "Segreti ardenti". Il suo romanzo più recente è "Piccoli piaceri", ed è stata nominata Royal Literary Fund Fellow presso l'Università del Kent per settembre 2020. Attualmente risiede nel sud-est di Londra con suo marito e la sua famiglia.
