My name is Hanna. I am 15. I am Latvian. I have a boyfriend and I am a dancer. But none of that is important any more. Because the Nazis have arrived, and I am Jewish. This is my story.
Vanessa Curtis Knihy
Táto autorka vytvára podmanivé historické romány pre mladých dospelých, ktoré sa často ponárajú do zložitých tém, ako je strata a odolnosť. Jej majstrovské rozprávanie preniká hlboko do ľudskej psychiky a skúma vplyv historických udalostí na jednotlivcov. Jej charakteristický štýl spočíva v pútavom jazyku a starostlivo prepracovaných postavách, ktoré čitateľov vtiahnu do iných čias a miest. Prostredníctvom svojich diel autorka nielen rozpráva príbehy, ale aj podnecuje k zamysleniu sa nad minulosťou a jej ozvenami v súčasnosti.

This is the first biography to concentrate exclusively on Woolf's close and inspirational friendships with the key women in her life, including the caregivers of her Victorian childhood who instilled in her a lifelong battle between creativity and convention: her taciturn sister, Vanessa Bell; enigmatic artist Dora Carrington; complex writer Katherine Mansfield; aristocratic novelist Vita Sackville-West; and riotous, militant composer Ethel Smyth.
