Rosie Alison

    Rosie Alison, bývalá režisérka dokumentárnych filmov a filmová producentka, čerpá zo svojho bohatého životného zážitku pri tvorbe svojich diel. Jej písanie sa zameriava na zložité emocionálne svety svojich postáv s bystrým pohľadom na psychologickú hĺbku. Alisonovej próza sa vyznačuje lyrickou kvalitou a pôsobivými obrazmi, ktoré čitateľov vtiahnu do nuansovaných svetov, ktoré vytvára. Jej debutový román bol ocenený za pútavý dej a sofistikované skúmanie ľudských vzťahov.

      England, 31st August 1939: the world is on the brink of war. As Hitler prepares to invade Poland, thousands of children are evacuated from London to escape the impending Blitz. Torn from her mother, eight-year-old Anna Sands is relocated with other children to a large Yorkshire estate which has been opened up to evacuees by Thomas and Elizabeth Ashton, an enigmatic childless couple. Soon Anna gets drawn into their unhappy relationship, seeing things that are not meant for her eyes - and finding herself part-witness and part-accomplice to a love affair, with tragic consequences. A story of love, loss and complicated loyalties, combining a sweeping narrative with subtle psychological observation, The Very Thought of You is a haunting and memorable debut.
