Sonya Hartnettová

    23. únor 1968

    Sonya Hartnett je autorkou, jejíž psaní často překračuje hranice žánru, ačkoli její díla jsou tradičně publikována jako literatura pro mladé dospělé. Její romány jsou ceněny pro svou schopnost zachytit křehkost dětství a zkoumat složité emocionální světy. Hartnett vytváří postavy, které jsou zároveň zranitelné a odolné, a zasazuje je do prostředí, jež odráží jak vnější výzvy, tak vnitřní boje. Její styl je lyrický a pronikavý, což čtenářům umožňuje hluboce se spojit s prožitky jejích hrdinů.

    • In a dying country town lives Satchel O'Rye, a young man fighting the future, Chelsea Piper, a young woman fighting the past and a long-lost creature that can teach them both the art of survival. Ever since Dad went off the deep end and decided he didn't need to work anymore -- insisting the Lord would provide -- Satchel O'Rye has felt stuck for life in his dying country town. A high school dropout drifting from one small carpentry job to the next, Satchel can see nothing beyond his own dreary duty to help keep the family afloat. But things start to change when he spies a strange doglike animal at a nearby mountain -- and mentions the fact to Chelsea Piper, an awkward young woman considered the local pariah. Could the animal he saw be a Tasmanian tiger, a marsupial thought to be extinct? And if they found it again, could it give them both a new chance at life?
