The youngest of four children, she grew up in Tarnash. She was educated at the Inverness Royal Academy, where she regularly appeared in the top five places for her grade, although childhood asthma kept her away from school for extended periods. She was an accomplished pianist and spoke French, German, and Russian.[1] Rather than continue a formal education, she pursued other interests, and at 19 she became involved with the Common Wealth Party, serving as the Highlands branch secretary. The party was based on socialist ideals, which Hanagan embraced throughout her life.[1] Early careerHanagan joined the Foreign Office and, in March 1946, was posted to Vienna to join the Allied Commission for Austria. She worked in the legal division on the de-nazification of Austrian law and the prosecution of war crimes. Following her experience in Vienna, she said: "Its never really bright morning again. You see the absolute depth of human depravity".[1] Literary careerHer first publisher was Colin Haycraft at Duckworths, who declared that "he never had to correct a word of hers." Auberon Waugh described her as the "Jane Austen of the 20th century,"[2] though, according to Susan Chitty, writing in The Guardian, her work was "comedy of a darker hue".[3] She later developed material for writing classes, tutored writing classes, and led a creative writing program at Ford Open Prison in Sussex. The first ever writer in residence appointed by the Home office.In addition she was a member of the society of Sussex authors and published texts for the Writers Bureau (1988).[4] Personal lifeHanagan was married to Major John Hanagan, and as a "service wife," lived in Europe and the Middle East.
