My friend Ariadne van de Ven, who has died aged 56 of cancer, was a book publicist and photographer of street life in Kolkata, which she wrote about in original ways.
Ariadne was born in Heerlen, in the Netherlands, the daughter of Jep van de Ven, a solicitor, and Rose Marie (nee Van Grunsven). At the University of Utrecht, she was a brilliant student and gained a master’s in English language and literature. She moved to London in 1987 having met her future partner and eventual husband, the bookseller John Prescott.
