Autorenporträt

S. F. Williamson is fascinated by the way languages are born and was surrounded by them long before she undertook a degree in French and Italian. She has always known that languages are creatures that live and move and breathe, and as a child she learned that speaking them meant accessing ideas, traditions and people she would only otherwise know from a distance. A graduate of Bath Spa University, Steph now lives in France with her husband and two cats.

Rezensionen

Williamson's engaging novel highlights the conflict between Vivien's choices and how her decisions deeply affect who she becomes. Its characters offer a vivid glimpse into the themes of societal inequality, the complexity of translation, and above all forgiveness. - Booklist

"Friendship, romance, and the intricacies of linguistics and militant espionage infused with a dystopian vibe and a heavy dose of dragons wrap up this sweeping epic of treachery, desperation, and ambition." - Publishers Weekly

Praise for A Language of Dragons: "This novel is a must-read, offering both a gripping plot and a meditation on the importance of words and empathy in a fractured world." - School Library Journal (starred review)
