Lucy Lawrie

    Autorka, vyrůstající obklopená knihami, objevila vášeň pro čtení a psaní již v dětství. Po studiu anglické literatury a několik let trvající kariéře komerční právničky ji mateřství inspirovalo k tomu, aby se plně věnovala psaní příběhů. Její próza se ponořuje do hlubin lidských zkušeností a zkoumá složitosti vztahů a vnitřního života. Prostřednictvím svých vyprávění autorka mistrně zachycuje jemné nuance emocí a vytváří díla, která rezonují s čtenáři na hluboce osobní úrovni.

    The Child Upstairs
    • "Steffi seems to have everything. She lives in a gorgeous house with her fiancé, Tom, his young daughter and their sweet little baby. But she hasn't told anyone about the unfortunate accidents that keep happening. That she's terrified to go upstairs in her own house. Or that her old imaginary friend has come back, whispering instructions on how to look after the baby. And she can't tell Tom that she's struggling. Not after what happened to his first wife. She's starting to realise that people have been keeping secrets from her. That there's something about her childhood that doesn't add up. Something dark, lurking just beyond the reaches of her memory. Poor Steffi doesn't know who to trust any more. She certainly shouldn't trust me."--
