Sweet Caress. The Many Lives of Amory Clay

Bloomsbury, 2015. Paperback. Pp: 447. From the internationally bestselling author comes a compelling story of one woman's extraordinary life. Over the years, Amory's search for life, love and artistic expression will take her from late 20s Berlin, to New York in the 30s, France in the Second World War, and Vietnam during the war. SWEET CARESS is a sweeping panorama of some of the most defining moments of modern history, told through the camera lens of one unforgettable woman. A spell at boarding school ends abruptly and Amory begins an apprenticeship with Greville in London, living in his tiny flat in Kensington, earning two pounds a week photographing socialites for the magazine Beau Monde. But Amory is hungry for more and her search for life, love and artistic expression will take her to the demi monde of Berlin of the late 20s, to New York of the 30s, to the Blackshirt riots in London and to France in the Second World War where she becomes one of the first women war photographers. Her desire for experience will lead Amory to further wars, to lovers, husbands and children as she continues to pursue her dreams and battle her demons. In this enthralling story of a life fully lived, William Boyd has created a sweeping panorama of some of the most defining moments of modern history, told through the camera lens of one unforgettable woman, Amory Clay. It is his greatest achievement to date. ISBN: 9781408867983. Cond./Kwaliteit: Goed.

De vele levens van Amory Clay. Roman

Atlas Contact, 2015. Paperback. Pp: 474. Amory Clay lijdt in haar jeugd onder de krankzinnigheid van haar vader die gebroken uit de Eerste Wereldoorlog terugkeerde. Ze zoekt steun bij haar oom Greville, een societyfotograaf, die bij haar een levenslange passie voor fotografie ontketent. Na een kostschoolopleiding wordt ze de assistent van Greville, met wie ze de Londense beau monde fotografeert. Haar zoektocht naar liefde en artistieke expressie brengt Amory vervolgens naar het roerige Berlijn van de late jaren twintig, naar New York in de jaren dertig, naar de antifascistenrellen in Londen en, als een van de eerste vrouwelijke oorlogsfotografen, naar Frankrijk in de Tweede Wereldoorlog. 'De vele levens van Amory Clay' is een meeslepend verhaal van een leven dat ten volle wordt geleefd, verluchtigd met 'gevonden' authentieke foto's. Tegelijkertijd heeft Boyd een weids panorama geschapen van een aantal cruciale momenten uit de moderne geschiedenis, opgetekend via de lens van een onvergetelijke vrouw. ISBN: 9789025446178. Cond./Kwaliteit: Redelijk.
