Sonya Hartnett è un'autrice la cui scrittura trascende frequentemente i confini di genere, sebbene le sue opere siano tradizionalmente pubblicate come narrativa per giovani adulti. I suoi romanzi sono elogiati per la loro capacità di catturare la fragilità dell'infanzia ed esplorare complessi paesaggi emotivi. Hartnett crea personaggi che sono sia vulnerabili che resilienti, collocandoli in ambientazioni che rispecchiano sia le sfide esterne che le lotte interiori. Il suo stile è lirico e acuto, permettendo ai lettori di connettersi profondamente con le esperienze dei suoi protagonisti.

Her muzzle wrinkled, and Andrej saw a glimpse of teeth and pale tongue. 'They smell the same, ' the lioness murmured. 'My cubs smelt as she does. Like pollen.' She breathed deeply again, and Andrej saw the missing cubs returning to her on the wings of the baby's perfume. 'All young ones must come from the same place,' she said: then sat down on her haunches, seemingly satisfied. Under cover of darkness, two brothers cross a war-ravaged countryside carrying a secret bundle. One night they stumble across a deserted town reduced to smouldering ruins. But at the end of a blackened street they find a small green miracle: a zoo filled with animals in need of hope. A moving and ageless fable about war, and freedom.
