Rachel Burton Boeken
Rachel Burton verzon al verhalen sinds ze zich kan herinneren en droomde er altijd van om schrijfster te worden totdat het leven ertussen kwam. Na een studie Klassieken en een andere in Engelse literatuur, kwam ze per ongeluk terecht in een juridische carrière, maar slaagde er uiteindelijk in haar eerste boek te schrijven tijdens haar lunchpauzes. Burtons verhalen duiken vaak diep in diepe menselijke emoties en complexe interpersoonlijke dynamiek, met een focus op psychologisch rijke personages en een boeiende plotontwikkeling. Ze creëert haar verhalen met een onderscheidende stem, waarbij ze meesterlijke proza gebruikt om meeslepende en resonerende literaire ervaringen te creëren.
