Brittani Sonnenberg Knihy

Brittani Sonnenberg je autorka, ktorej próza sa vyznačuje prenikavým vhľadom do ľudskej psychiky a napätím medzi kultúrnymi identitami. Jej poviedky, ktoré sa objavili v popredných literárnych časopisoch a boli zaradené do prestížnych antológií, skúmajú zložitosť medziľudských vzťahov a hľadanie domova v cudzích krajinách. Sonnenberg citlivo zachytáva jemné nuansy emócií a myšlienok postáv, pričom jej štýl je zároveň precízny aj evokatívny. Jej písanie odráža hlboké porozumenie modernému svetu a jeho neustálym zmenám.

Brittani Sonnenberg's "emotionally charged" (Real Simple) debut novel following a family's search for home abroad is now in paperback. Chris Kriegstein is a man on the move, with a career that catapults his family across the globe. For his wife, Elise, the hardship of chronic relocation is soothed by the allure of reinvention. But it's the Kriegstein daughters, Leah and Sophie, who face the most tumult. With each new move, the girls find they can count on only one thing: the consoling, confounding presence of each other. When the family suffers an unimaginable loss, they can't help but wonder: Was it meant to be, or did one decision change their lives forever? Called "stark but sweet, warm and wise" by the Minneapolis Star Tribune, HOME LEAVE chases this wildly loveable family through the excitement and anguish of their journeys around the world.
