Jennifer Donnelly

    16 augustus 1963

    Jennifer Donnelly verweeft meesterlijk historische gebeurtenissen met boeiende verhalen, waarbij ze zich vaak richt op sterke vrouwelijke personages die tegenspoed trotseren. Haar schrijfstijl kenmerkt zich door rijke taal en diep psychologisch inzicht, wat lezers een meeslepende ervaring biedt. Donnelly verkent thema's als identiteit, maatschappelijke verwachtingen en de zoektocht naar iemands plaats in de wereld. Haar werken worden geprezen om hun fantasierijke reikwijdte en hun vermogen om de sfeer van vervlogen tijdperken op te roepen.

      An epic tale of secret love and hidden passions. It is 1900 and the dangerous streets of East London are no place for a well-bred woman. But India Selwyn Jones is headstrong: she has trained as one of a new breed, a woman doctor, and is determined to practice where the need is greatest. It is in these grim streets where India meets - and saves the life of - London's most notorious gangster, Sid Malone. Hard, violent, devastatingly attractive, Malone is the opposite of India's cool, aristocratic fiance. Though Malone represents all she despises, India finds herself unwillingly drawn ever closer to him - enticed by his charm, intrigued by his hidden, mysterious past. THE WINTER ROSE brings the beginning of the turbulent twentieth century vividly to life, drawing the reader into its wretched underworld, its privileged society, and the shadowland between the two, where the strict rules of the time blur into secret passions.
