'Mesmerising from beginning to end.' Lizzie LaneYorkshire 1860 With
the heat of their beloved India far behind them, Evie Davenport and
her widowed British Army officer father, are starting a new life in
England. But Evie is struggling. With her dearest mother gone,
Yorkshire with its cold, damp countryside and strict societal rules
makes Evie feel suffocated and alone. Her friendship with Sophie
Bellingham, the gently reared daughter of a wealthy rail baron, is
Evie's only comfort. Until the arrival of local cotton mill owner,
Alexander Lucas. Newly returned from America, it is expected
Alexander will marry and finally make England his home. And Sophie
with her family connections and polite manners is the obvious
choice. But when Alexander meets Evie, a simmering passion ignites
between them. Evie, with her rebellious spirit is like no other
woman Alex has ever met, but to reject Sophie for Evie would cause
a scandal and devastate everyone Evie loves. Evie knows she must do
her duty. But in doing so faces the unbearable future of being
without the man she loves. Praise for AnneMarie Brear: 'AnneMarie
Brear writes gritty, compelling sagas that grip from the first
page.' Fenella J Miller 'Poignant, powerful and searingly
emotional, AnneMarie Brear stands shoulder to shoulder with the
finest works by some of the genre's greatest writers such as
Catherine Cookson, Audrey Howard and Rosamunde Pilcher.'
One wild, exhilarating night in Berlin: a brilliant new novel by one of the most acclaimed writers of our time Sister Europe tells the story of one wild night in Berlin, as a ragtag group meet at the Hotel Interconti to celebrate an elderly author’s venerable career (all under the resolute assurance that their wealthy host will provide a free and fancy dinner). Inevitably, boredom, hunger and horniness set in, and the gang – a young trans teen and her father; an ageing publisher and his flakey date; a dog, a troubled heiress and an Arabic Prince – are flung out on an exhilarating odyssey through the city’s shadow and light. Sophisticated, sexy and exquisitely moving, Sister Europe is a vivid tale of a scene all at sea, and a continent whorled with charm, caprice and the aches of history.
