Her debut YA novel The Deathless Girls was published in 2019, and was shortlisted for the YA Book Prize, and long listed for the CILIP Carnegie Medal. O ile poprzednie książki autorki były dla mnie przyjemnymi lekturami, o tyle "Sofia, dziewczyna z kościanego domu" totalnie mnie oczarowała.

In an Italian city ravaged by plague, Sofia's mother carves beautiful mementoes from the bones of loved ones. Ripping propulsive plot, gorgeous imagery, floating fairytale prose, the gradual unlocking of a mystery as delicate and meticulous as a vertebrae padlock. Przedstawione tu cnoty i niewinność dzieci jest przesłaniem nadziei dla nowego pokolenia i przypomina czytelnikowi, że nie warto cenić się ponad innych. The writing style and descriptions were fantastic and this definitely kept you wanting to turn the pages throughout. Przygody dwójki rodzeństwa nie pozwalają czytelnikowi się nudzić, akcja jest wartka, a jednocześnie bardzo zrozumiała, co będzie idealnym rozwiązaniem dla nieco młodszych moli książkowych.

They live in historical Siena at a time when the plague has ravaged their town and there is no cure for those affected. I had previously read the girl of ink and stars and the island at the end of everything, so I opened it expecting it not to be able to beat them. Together they cross the city underground, following clues in bones up to the towers of Siena, where - circled by magpies - the children find the terrible truth .

Kiran Millwood Hargrave has established a reputation for creating imaginative novels for a KS2 audience – or younger teens. A Secret of Birds and Bone is the story of Sofia and her family: her mother, her brother Ermin and their pet crow, Corvith (excuse me, yes, I would like a pet crow, thank you kind sir).W całej tej drodze Sofia z Ermin spotkają też tych dobrych ludzi, którzy chcą dla nich jak najlepiej.

Momentami przeżyjecie niezły rollercoaster emocjonalny i taki, że będziesz chciał/ła krzyczeć „Nie idź tam” „Zostaw to” itp.

Her first book for adults, The Mercies, debuted as The Times number 1 bestseller, and at number 5 in the Sunday Times Bestseller Charts. Kiran Millwood-Hargrave's writing is always exquisite, and this is no exception, with beautiful descriptions of an Italian city bathed in sunlight and atmosphere.
