Janet Lambert Bücher
Janet Lambert zeichnete sich durch die meisterhafte Gestaltung miteinander verknüpfter Familiensagas in ihrem umfangreichen Werk für junge Leser aus. Ihre Erzählungen stellten oft Charaktere in den Mittelpunkt, deren Leben sich über mehrere Serien hinweg überschnitten und die häufig vor dem Hintergrund von Armeestützpunkten angesiedelt waren, was ihre persönlichen Erfahrungen widerspiegelte. Lambertas Stärke lag in ihrer Fähigkeit, das Wesen des Lebens heranwachsender Mädchen und ihrer familiären Dynamik einzufangen und so immersive Welten zu schaffen, die bei Generationen von Lesern Anklang fanden.
