Netta Syrett

    Deze Britse auteur verkende de complexiteit van adolescentie en de zoektocht naar zelfidentiteit in haar werken, vaak door middel van gevoelige portretten van vrouwelijke personages. Haar stijl kenmerkt zich door scherp psychologisch inzicht en elegante proza dat de lezer onderdompelt in de intieme werelden van haar protagonisten. Syretts belangrijkste thema's draaien om maatschappelijke verwachtingen en beperkingen waarmee haar personages worden geconfronteerd, en hun reis naar onafhankelijkheid en zelfontdekking. Door haar verhalen biedt ze tijdloze reflecties op de menselijke natuur en de zoektocht naar betekenis.

      Excerpt from Magic London LL her life up to the time she was eleven years old, A Betty had heard about, but never seen, her god mother. The reason for this, was that until a year ago, Betty's home had been far away in the country, while Godmother Strangeways lived in London. Then, just when the child's father and mother moved to town, Godmother decided to travel abroad. So it happened that Betty had been more than a year in London before she met the old lady who afterwards made such a difference in her life. She never forgot the first day she met her. Your godmother has come back, said her mother one morning at breakfast time, as with a curious smile she passed a letter to her husband.
