The film star M is one of the most recognizable faces of our time. Now, a writer has decided to pay close attention to M's life, in the hope of understanding who she really is. In this astonishing, explosive novel, Rachel Cusk hunts for the nature of truth without ever swerving away into self-deceptions.

Story11
Writers from William Shakespeare to best-selling modern authors have tried to show what sort of man Richard Neville must have been, with quite different results. Sometimes Warwick is portrayed as the skilled political manipulator behind the throne, shaping events for his own advantage. Others describe him as the last of the barons, ruling his fiefdom like an uncrowned king. Whatever the truth, his story is one of adventure, power, and influence at the heart of one of the most dangerous times in the history of England.

1470. England is in turmoil as the battle between supporters of the Yorkist king, Edward IV, and the old Lancastrian king, Henry VI, escalates. And for Isobel Fenton, the war is personal. Her father's death made her heiress to Beaumoncote Manor, a desirable estate in the midlands. But as conflict threatens England's unstable peace, Isobel and her lands become the focus of bitter tensions and a long-held feud. Taken from her manor, Isobel becomes the unwilling mistress of an indomitable Earl. She sees her only chance of happiness in the Earl's brother, Robert Langton.

Aucun expert en art, aucun conservateur de musée, aucun enquêteur de police ne sait qui était la jeune femme représentée sur le tableau, ni quels mystères entourent l’histoire mouvementée de son portrait.

Born a veritable great lion of God to a devout Jewish family, Saul of Tarsus is raised by his parents to embrace their love of humanity. Dogged by what he perceives as a lack of true faith, he embarks on a journey to save his people from sacrilege. But on the road to Damascus a vision of the resurrected Jesus changes the course of his life. Converting to Christianity, the newly christened Paul transforms from persecutor of blasphemers into apostle to the gentiles, becoming one of the supreme influences on the Catholic Church and the Western world.
