Nino Ricci was born in Leamington, Ontario, Canada in 1959 to parents from the Molise region of Italy. His first novel, Lives of the Saints, published in 1990, garnered international acclaim, appearing in seventeen countries and winning a host of awards, including Canada's Governor General's Award and England's Betty Trask Award and Winifred Holtby Prize. It began a trilogy that was completed by In A Glass House and Where She Has Gone and that was adapted as a miniseries starring Sophia Loren and Kris Kristofferson.

Ricci is also the author of Testament, a fictional reimagining of the life of Jesus, and most recently of The Origin of Species, which earned him his second Governor General's Award. According to the Toronto Star, it is "Ricci's masterstroke to date . . . . An ambitious, thrilling novel that resists encapsulation and takes not a single misstep."

In 2006, Ricci was the winner of the inaugural Alistair MacLeod Award for Literary Achievement. He is a past president of the Canadian Centre of International PEN.
