Melinda Salisbury

    Melinda Salisbury, autorka debutového románu The Sin Eater's Daughter, čerpá inšpiráciu zo života pri mori na juhu Anglicka a svojej lásky k cestovaniu a dobrodružstvu. Jej dielo sa často ponára do histórie a mytológie, pričom jej štýl býva opisovaný ako magický a pútavý. Salisburyová dokáže majstrovsky vykresliť zložité postavy a ich vnútorné svety, čím čitateľa vtiahne do napínavých príbehov. Jej jedinečný pohľad na svet a literárny talent z nej robia nezabudnuteľnú autorku.

    • Her Dark Wings is a modern-day take on the Persephone myth, infused with the intense potency of teenage passions. The richness of Greek myth is vividly brought to life by the immediacy and originality of a fiery, contemporary drama. And iconic mythic figures crackle and change as a modern girl fills the Underworld with new life. Exploring the thin line between love and hate, obsession and attraction, friendship and betrayal, this is a breathless and bold story, beautifully told by an exceptional writer. It's about a girl who realises that she wants and, in getting it, brings soul to a stagnant world, and change to an unyielding god. It's about life - and hope - blooming in the unlikeliest of places. It's about being brave enough to release your wings. 'An intoxicating combination of the ancient and modern, full of passion and rage' - Guardian Best Children's Books of the Year 2022
