    1. leden 1950

    Carole se k psaní dostala až v pozdním věku a od té doby to dohání s velkou vervou. Její díla se často rodí z vlastních zkušeností a pozorování světa kolem sebe, ať už jde o její vlastní rodinné zážitky nebo o její předchozí kariéru v oblasti vědy. S neustálým přísunem nápadů a bez známek tvůrčího bloku se pustila do psaní románů, povídek i scénářů, čímž si vybudovala působivou a rozmanitou literární stopu.
