Collins Hemingway Knihy
Autorka s vášňou pristupuje k tvorivému skúmaniu, ponára sa do hĺbok charakterov postáv a zasadzuje ich do komplexného a často nebezpečného sveta. V jej tvorbe sa prejavuje hlboký obdiv ku odvahe tvárou v tvár nepriazni osudu. Snaží sa o precíznosť, presnosť a intelektuálnu dôslednosť, pričom píše jazykom srdca, aby preskúmala všetko, čo z ľudí robí komplexné, aj keď omylné ľudské bytosti, a otestovala ich húževnatosť vo všetkých smeroch. Tento prístup k jasnosti myslenia o podstatných, zložitých a nuansovaných témach sa odráža aj v jej náučnej literatúre.
