"Three timelines converge to unveil the mysterious disappearance of two girls during World War II"--
Libba Bray Reihenfolge der Bücher (Chronologisch)
Diese Autorin befasst sich mit den menschlichen Eigenheiten und einzigartigen Details des Lebens und meidet trockene biografische Fakten zugunsten der reichhaltigeren, seltsameren Aspekte der Existenz. Ihr Schreiben ist von trockenem Humor und einem scharfen Beobachtungsstil durchdrungen, der es den Lesern ermöglicht, die Welt aus ihrer einzigartigen Perspektive zu sehen. Sie nutzt unerwartete Anekdoten und persönliche Erfahrungen, um ein lebendiges und fesselndes Porträt ihres Innenlebens und ihrer Denkprozesse zu schaffen. Ihr Ansatz offenbart eine Faszination für Wörter wie 'Erlösung' und eine Abneigung gegen 'vielleicht', was auf tiefere Themen wie Hoffnung und Gewissheit in ihrer Arbeit hindeutet.
