Sarah Ridley Boeken
Sarah Ridley schrijft en redigeert educatieve boeken voor kinderen en jongeren. Een levenslange interesse in geschiedenis heeft haar onlangs ertoe aangezet om over de Eerste Wereldoorlog te schrijven, geïnspireerd door brieven van soldaten die in het conflict dienden. Haar werk duikt vaak in persoonlijke verhalen en familiearchieven, zoals blijkt uit verhalen die de ontdekking van materiaal binnen de eigen familiebijeenkomsten verkennen. Een andere focus verkent de correspondentie tussen broers die soldaat waren en hun zussen, en brengt de ervaringen van jonge mensen tijdens de oorlog tot leven.
