Her books offered us some absolute sweet and romantic along with exciting, plot driven times on our Greek Islands summer vacation that we'll never forget.  




2. Gillian Flynn ^ Flynn Trousers

Her life was difficult to analyze and discuss, on the contrary her books received brilliant reviews and mutual acceptance.

Her short stories appeared for the first time in Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine in the early 1950s.
Patricia wrote mostly novels and short stories, while some of her most famous publications consist of the multi awarded Strangers on a Train, The Talented Mr. Ripley and The Two Faces of January (a novel which story is set in a Hotel in Athens,Greece). 
Her works smashed out the film adaptation number as it exceeds the 11 movies.

Patricia can be characterized the Hitchcock of authors, as her stories took us to the edge of emotional climax and we followed her characters development stepwise. 





4. Virginia Woolf ^ Woolf Dress

Adeline Virginia Woolf was born on 25 January 1882 at Kensington, England and died at Sussex, England at the age of 59. She was an English writer and one of the foremost modernists of the twentieth century. Her dramatic and eventful life marked her personality and her stories, giving them an epic touch and feeling.

Books like "The Waves" (1931), "To The Lighthouse" (1927) and exhibit the experimental & modernist writing style that made her publications highly exceptional.  




5. J.K. Rowling ^ Rowling Dress

“We are only as strong as we are united, as weak as we are divided.”
J.K. Rowling
, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire



 
One of many times in the history of literature that the author identifies with a specific character. Rowling became the articulation of the famous magician and his life story which gained a massive number of fans and sold more than 400 million copies. Yeah, that's right, of course we talk about our beloved "Harry Potter". 

Joanne Rowling was born in 31 July 1965 in Yale and didn't turned to writing till her 30 year of age, when she finished the first manuscript of Harry Potter, the famous first tale of "Sorcerer's Stone". Six more books then followed, to conclude the amazing series.

We trully loved that series of books not only for the adventurous narration and the epicness of the characters, but also for the bohemian romantic style that was emerging through the art form.

A pure epic tale, which aroused the child inside our hearts, the one that we never let it sleep.
