At university JK studied French and the classics. Her first husband was Portuguese
but unfortunately the marriage was not a success. After she was very sad and cried
a lot. She was unemployed and poor.
J.K. prepared the first Harry Potter book in the Nicolson's Café in Edinburgh. Then JK
tried to find a publisher. She offered her first book to twelve publishers in England
