    Tato autorka zkoumá hlubiny lidské psychiky a mezilidských vztahů prostřednictvím poutavého vyprávění. Její stylistická obratnost a pronikavý vhled do motivací postav činí její díla nezapomenutelnými. S jemnou rovnováhou mezi napětím a introspekcí vtáhne čtenáře do světů, které jsou současně znepokojivě známé i fascinujícím způsobem cizí. Její próza je svědectvím o síle příběhu a schopnosti literatury odrážet složitost naší existence.
