If you refuse to believe me, I will no longer consider you my
son... Daniel believed that his parents were enjoying a peaceful
retirement on a remote farm in Sweden, the country of his mother's
birth. But with a single phone call, everything changes. Your
mother... she's not well, his father tells him. She's been
imagining things - terrible, terrible things.In fact, she has been
committed to a mental hospital. Before Daniel can board a plane to
Sweden, his mother calls: Everything that man has told you is a
lie. I'm not mad... I need the police... Meet me at Heathrow.
Daniel is immediately caught between his parents - whom to believe,
whom to trust? He becomes his mother's unwilling judge and jury.
Presented with a horrific crime, a conspiracy that implicates his
own father, Daniel must examine the evidence and decide for
himself: who is telling the truth? And he has secrets of his own
that for too long he has kept hidden...
Henry's cousin Annie wants a pet, but she can't have a big dog like
Mudge, so Henry and his parents help Annie settle on a pet that is
perfect for her and her more delicate tastes - a little white
bunny!
A richly imagined and stunningly inventive literary masterpiece
of love, art, and betrayal, exploring the genesis of evil, the
unforeseen consequences of love, and the ultimate unreliability of
storytelling itself
Paris in the 1920s shimmers with excitement, dissipation, and
freedom. It is a place of intoxicating ambition, passion, art, and
discontent, where louche jazz venues like the Chameleon Club draw
expats, artists, libertines, and parvenus looking to indulge their
true selves. It is at the Chameleon where the striking Lou Villars,
an extraordinary athlete and scandalous cross-dressing lesbian,
finds refuge among the club s loyal denizens, including the rising
Hungarian photographer Gabor Tsenyi, the socialite and art patron
Baroness Lily de Rossignol, and the caustic American writer Lionel
Maine.
As the years pass, their fortunes and the world itself evolve.
Lou falls desperately in love and finds success as a race car
driver. Gabor builds his reputation with startlingly vivid and
imaginative photographs, including a haunting portrait of Lou and
her lover, which will resonate through all their lives. As the
exuberant twenties give way to darker times, Lou experiences
another metamorphosis sparked by tumultuous events that will warp
her earnest desire for love and approval into something far
more."
