Bonnett is known for her poetic career at national and international level. In her novels she portrays the human condition from a personal and intimate perspective where the psychological aspect stands out. Two of her novels El prestigio de la belleza and Donde nadie me espere can be considered Bildungsroman, thanks to the ample categorization given by this theoretical genre, as they show how the protagonists carry out a search for themselves through a phenomenological and psychological process that modifies and shapes them as individuals, thus achieving one of the premises of this type of novels: their self-discovery and self-formation.
