Charlotte Elisabeth Grace Roche (born 18 March 1978) is a British-German television presenter, author, producer, and actress.

Roche, the daughter of an engineer and a politically- and artistically-active mother was born in High Wycombe near London and raised in Germany.

[2] In 1983, when Roche was five years old, her parents divorced, an event and experience that she later incorporated in her novels Feuchtgebiete (Wetlands) and Schoßgebete (Wrecked).

In 2006, Roche played the female lead in the German film Eden, directed by Michael Hofmann [de].

[1] Justin E. H. Smith wrote of the novel in a review in n+1: "If Roche has hit on something true and heretofore unsaid, it is the insight that to write about bodily fluids is not to describe something exceptional in the course of human life.

It is, rather, to describe something that is always there and always felt to be there, through all those other things people do and experience at that level that used to be the subject of novels (falling in love, challenging others to duels, talking about the buying and selling of land, etc).
