Rupert Brooke died in April 1915, on the eve of the Gallipoli landings. During the First World War Brooke was the iconic poet-soldier, adored and mimicked by readers and would-be writers-both in and out of uniform-with an international following that has neither been examined nor explained since. The general shift in attitudes toward war and the manner in which the war poets are presented meant that Brooke was recast as the exemplar of pre-war innocence, forever swimming in faintly saccharine, nakedly patriotic streams born of his famous poems. Rupert Brooke in the First World War takes a celebrity of the war who became an idol for fellow writers, politicians, literary elites and the general public, and tells the story of his life and famously romantic death, providing readers a fuller sense not only of the human being and his singular life and circumstances, but also of the world he inhabited, and the passions and tastes of men and women living through a period of great upheaval.

In the world of modelling success does not always guarantee survival. Alice is at the cusp of her career, ready to take off but looking for a place to really call home. Betrayed by the man she thought loved her, she is seen as a commodity by just about everyone she comes in contact with. From the glitzy streets of St. Petersburg's catwalks and a party where death is a guest; to the seedy studio of a photographer where things almost get out of control. Throughout it all, Alice, struggles to make sense of her world and find the path where she can mostly feel herself. A chance encounter in the past seems to lead the way but not before there is one final photo shoot in the gilded Miami arena where the most unexpected thing ever happens. Based upon the real-life experiences of swimsuit and lingerie model, Alisa Miller, this is an eye-opening journey into the competitive world of modelling and its vices. Sizzling with sex, tension and the freshness of a new, young voice in the world of writing, it's the perfect escapist read you need.
