Anatomy of a Scandal

Simon & Schuster, Limited, 2022. Paperback. Pp: 432. "An astonishingly incisive and suspenseful novel about a scandal amongst Britain's privileged elite and the women caught up in its wake. Sophie's husband James is a loving father, a handsome man, a charismatic and successful public figure. And yet he stands accused of a terrible crime. Sophie is convinced he is innocent and desperate to protect her precious family from the lies that threaten to rip them apart. Kate is the lawyer hired to prosecute the case: an experienced professional who knows that the law is all about winning the argument. And yet Kate seeks the truth at all times. She is certain James is guilty and is determined he will pay for his crimes. Who is right about James? Sophie or Kate? And is either of them informed by anything more than instinct and personal experience? Despite her privileged upbringing, Sophie is well aware that her beautiful life is not inviolable. She has known it since she and James were first lovers, at Oxford, and she witnessed how easily pleasure could tip into tragedy. Most people would prefer not to try to understand what passes between a man and a woman when they are alone: alone in bed, alone in an embrace, alone in an elevator.Or alone in the moonlit courtyard of an Oxford college, where a girl once stood before a boy, heart pounding with excitement, then fear. Sophie never understood why her tutorial partner Holly left Oxford so abruptly. What would she think, if she knew the truth?"-. ISBN: 9781398516243. Cond./Kwaliteit: Goed.

The Ancestor Game

Graywolf Press, 1994. Gekartonneerd met stofomslag. Pp: 302. The Ancestor Game, winner of Australia's top literary prize, is like an elaborate house of many floors and wings and hidden rooms, all interconnecting in unlikely and surprising ways, and inhabited by a richly divergent family of characters. Alex Miller skillfully poses perhaps unanswerable but infinitely intriguing questions about exile and belonging, identity and cultural past, art and history. In this novel, the lives, pasts, and the imaginations of the three central characters, Steven Muir, Lang Tzu, and Gertrude Spiess are powerfully and poetically interwoven. As the riveting history of each unfolds, the reader is drawn into an intricate, often mysterious series of paths traversing centuries and continents. Steven, Lang, and Gertrude find that their internal homelands, their personal landscapes of enchantment, change profoundly as they examine and recreate their family histories. ISBN: 9781555972172.

The Angel Max

Harcourt Brace & Company, 1998. Gekartonneerd met stofomslag. Pp: 450. As a young child in polygolt Kovno, Max Petrovich Kraft had a clear vision of his own future and the wonderful adventures he was going to have in America. America! Where everyone spoke English, so that "no matter what anybody says or how anybody says it, everybody understands." Who is Angel Max? Born in 1866, he is an orphan, raised by rich realitives, educated and enlightened Jews. As a boy, he becomes obsessed with English and James Cooper while his siblings get caught up in the anarchist/nihilist underground. He comes to America, to New York, and stays with realtives, not on the Lower East Side but in a townhouse on West 11th Street, just off Fifth Avenue. A sound marriage and equally sound business ventures, in real estate, make the American dream immediately come true-city and country homes, servants, carriages-and, above all, speaking English at all times. But there is the other side of the family-revolutionary stepsisters, a crazed, violent half brother, an anarchist cousin-mone other than "Red Emma" Goldman herself. They are in and out of his life, and Max becomes an "angel" for the anarchist cause, a little out of sympathy but more to keep them at a distance. This ambiguity is splendidly rendered in a richly inventive novel filled with memories of a time past, of lives lived and imagined in all seriousness and with empathy and humor. ISBN: 9780151002207.
