Anne Finne

    7. prosinec 1947

    Anne Fineová dokáže ve svých románech mistrně propojit humor s vážnými společenskými tématy. Její díla, často nečekaně humorná i pro mladší čtenáře, zkoumají složitosti dospívání a ukazují, že boj s chaosem může být nejen smysluplný, ale i komický. V osmi románech pro dospělé se s oblibou noří do tzv. černých komedií, kde odhaluje napjaté rodinné vztahy a skryté konflikty. Její schopnost poukázat na znepokojivé aspekty běžných situací přináší čtenářům směsici hrůzy a potěšení.
