My name is Hanna. I am 15. I am Latvian. I have a boyfriend and I am a dancer. But none of that is important any more. Because the Nazis have arrived, and I am Jewish. This is my story.

Deze auteur creëert meeslepende historische romans voor jongvolwassenen, die zich vaak verdiepen in complexe thema's als verlies en veerkracht.

Met een kenmerkende stijl, gekenmerkt door boeiende proza en zorgvuldig uitgewerkte personages, trekt ze lezers naar andere tijden en plaatsen. Met haar werken vertelt de auteur niet alleen verhalen, maar zet ze ook aan tot reflectie over het verleden en de echo's daarvan in het heden.

This is the first biography to concentrate exclusively on Woolf's close and inspirational friendships with the key women in her life, including the caregivers of her Victorian childhood who instilled in her a lifelong battle between creativity and convention: her taciturn sister, Vanessa Bell; enigmatic artist Dora Carrington; complex writer Katherine Mansfield; aristocratic novelist Vita Sackville-West; and riotous, militant composer Ethel Smyth.
