• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

'That's enough,' she told herself, her hairbrush poised in mid air. 'Stop thinking about the past.' About France: about the parties and the money, about her mother's lovers, and most of all about her mother's long and terrifying downward spiral into addiction, paralysis and death. ...

Phoebe Presswood is seventeen. Newly arrived in her native country to live with her father, whom she has not seen for nine years, she is struggling with the damage inflicted by her upbringing on the Côte d'Azur.

Her character is exemplary, and in her cousin Howard she finds an ally to her cause: but can these be enough to let her overcome her past and find happiness and her place in the world?

Autorenporträt

I was born in England in 1950 and educated at Watford Boys' Grammar School and Sussex University, where my interest in natural history led me to read biology.

My first successful novel was "The Stone Arrow", which was published to critical acclaim in 1978. It subsequently won the Winifred Holtby Memorial Prize, administered by the Royal Society of Literature in London, and was the first in a trilogy. This was followed by "The Penal Colony" (1987), a futuristic thriller that formed the basis of the 1994 movie "No Escape", starring Ray Liotta.

The main difficulty for the author is making his voice heard in the roar of self-promotion. I believe that the work I am producing now is of higher quality than my prize-winning first, and ask you, the reader, to help spread the word by telling your friends if you have enjoyed one of my books.
