Sarah Forbes

    Sarah Forbes sa zameriava na osobné rozprávanie a objavovanie intímnych pravdivostí v každodennom živote. Jej štýl je súčasne poetický aj prístupný, plynulo prechádza medzi zdanlivo obyčajnými detailmi a hlbšími emocionálnymi rezonanciami. Prostredníctvom svojich diel pozýva čitateľov k zamysleniu sa nad zložitosťou ľudských vzťahov a tichou silou životných okamihov. Jej príbehy sú skúmaním odolnosti a krásy, ktoré nachádzame v bežných zážitkoch.

Elspeth spends her days sweeping up mouse droppings, washing filthy pots and dodging Tatiana Firensky, the most horrible show-off of all. But what Elspeth doesn't know is that things are about to change...
