Mary Stolz

    24 maart 1920 – 15 december 2006

    Mary Stolz was een gevierde auteur voor kinderen en adolescenten, wiens romans werden geprezen om hun serieuze benadering van de uitdagingen van jongeren. Haar protagonisten navigeerden vaak door complexe emotionele en sociale landschappen en leerden beslissende actie te ondernemen in verschillende omstandigheden, van professionele rollen tot persoonlijke worstelingen. Hoewel haar verhalen vaak romantiek verweefden met realistische situaties, schuwden ze imperfecte ontknopingen niet, waarbij mannelijke personages soms de zaken compliceerden in plaats van gemakkelijke oplossingen te bieden. Stolz' onderscheidende stem ving de authentieke ervaringen en de veerkracht van de adolescentie.
