Reseña del libro ""Dark Heart(S)". Family Secrets and Hidden Selves in the Work of Charlotte Mendelson (en Inglés)"

Master's Thesis from the year 2015 in the subject Didactics - English - Literature, Works, grade: 1,7, Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (DEL), course: British Studies, language: English, abstract: An analysis of genesis of Mendelson's writing with particular focus on her British-Jewish background. So far, the British-Jewish novelist Charlotte Mendelson has published four books, namely "Love in Idleness" (2001), "Daughters of Jerusalem" (2003), "When We Were Bad" (2007), and "Almost English" (2013), which could all be typified as intercultural coming-of-age novels.

Mendelson). Especially her maternal grandparents are a lasting inspiration for Mendelson. Her "'Hungarian side is the side [she] like[s] showing off the most'" (qtd. in Westbrook) and is repeatedly referred to in interviews. Her hybrid background "has enabled [Mendelson] to become an essentially diasporic writer" (Cheyette, Diaspora and Multiculturalism 54) When reading Mendelson's novels in chronological order, it seems as if her writing has undergone some development. Recurring topics and tropes, such as living in a supposedly "cryptic" family microcosm and the difficulties of finding one's identity in circumstances that resemble "exile", are condensed, deepened, and shaped into more complex versions. Hence, her wo
