Anna Stothard Knihy
Anna Stothardová skúma zložitosť ľudských vzťahov a identity v neustále sa meniacom svete. Jej štylistická zručnosť sa prejavuje v jemných opisoch prostredia a v hlbokom psychologickom vhľade do svojich postáv. Stothardová sa vyhýba konvenčným rozprávacím postupom a vytvára diela, ktoré sú zároveň znepokojivé aj podnetné k zamysleniu. Jej próza je svedectvom o nepokojnej povahe existencie a hľadaní zmyslu v cudzích krajinách i vo vlastnom vnútri.
