Sarah Addison Allen

Megvan az új kedvenc írónőm! :D Persze nem vagyok hűtlen az előzőhöz (Joanne Harris), hisz sok kedvenc írónő kis polcon is elfér! :o)

Sarah Addison Allen az új favorit, A csodálatos Waverley-kert c. könyvét olvasom éppen. Egy korábbi nagy kedvenc írónőhöz hasonlít a stílusa - mondhatni kísértetiesen (Alice Hoffman). Semmi extra, semmi világmegváltó szándék, egyszerűen egy szépséges történet, ami elvarázsol, magába szippant - letehetetlen...

Ő lenne Sarah dióhéjban:

Seven things about Sarah

1. When I was a kid, I wanted to be a trash man. I would spend hours daydreaming about riding on the back of a garbage truck, jumping off at every house and dumping people’s trash into it.
2. I was born and raised in Asheville, North Carolina, a place Rolling Stone magazine once called "America’s New Freak Capital."
3. I have my B.A. in Literature, a major I chose because I thought it was amazing that I could get a diploma just for reading fiction. It was like being able to major in eating chocolate.
4. I can’t turn away stray cats and I’m convinced they know this.
5. My father was a copy editor, reporter and award-winning columnist for our local paper.
6. My mother has a nose ring, but we pretend it’s not there.
7. Garden Spells, my mainstream debut, didn’t start out as a magical novel. It was supposed to be a simple story about two sisters reconnecting after many years. But then the apple tree started throwing apples and the story took on a life of its own...and my life hasn’t been the same since.

És a többi...
