Sally Cabot Gunning

    Sally Cabot Gunning approfondisce le storie non raccontate e le esperienze umane che si celano sotto la superficie di eventi storici ben noti. Spinta da un profondo legame con il suo nativo Massachusetts, intreccia magistralmente il ricco passato della regione in narrazioni avvincenti. Il suo approccio distintivo porta in vita figure dimenticate, esplorando le sfaccettature meno conosciute delle epoche storiche. Gunning scrive con un acuto senso del dettaglio e una passione per rivelare il passato in modi che forse i lettori non hanno ancora incontrato.
