Sonya Hartnett is an acclaimed Australian author known for her novels and children's literature that often explore themes of identity and adolescence.

"I thought about how stupid it is, that all of us are born destined to desire somebody else, though desire brings with it such disappointment and pain. Humankind's history must be scored bloody with heartbreak. This hankering for affection is a blight upon us."
