Book excerpt: " Ce n'était pas la première fois qu'on m'enfermait dans le placard, si le terme n'est pas un peu excessif pour désigner le cagibi sous l'escalier. " Ainsi commence le journal de Mary, la servante du célèbre Dr Jekyll. Mary Reilly, modeste jeune fille de l'époque victorienne, a échappé aux ruelles sombres de son enfance et à la brutalité de son père. Ses qualités singulières d'observation, jointes à son éducation, éveillent l'intérêt de son maître, auquel elle voue une dévotion sans faille et qui, en retour, lui accorde toute sa confiance. Mais un mal étrange ronge l'homme de science, et la jeune Mary est vite mise à l'épreuve quand survient un assistant aux intentions douteuses, Edwards Hyde. Cette récréation, brillante et originale, par les yeux de la servante, du roman de Robert Louis Stevenson, Docteur Jekyll et Mister Hyde, est à la fois une réussite littéraire et un roman à suspense riche en émotions. Le livre vient d'être porté à l'écran par le réalisateur anglais Stephen Frears avec dans les deux rôles principaux Julia Roberts et John Malkovich. Roman traduit de l'anglais par Annie Saumont.

Book excerpt: WINNER OF THE ORANGE PRIZE • Set in 1828 on a Louisiana sugar plantation, this novel from the bestselling author of Mary Reilly presents a “fresh, unsentimental look at what slave-owning does to (and for) one's interior life.... The writing—so prised and clean limbed—is a marvel" (Toni Morrison, Nobel Prize-winning author of Beloved). Manon Gaudet, pretty, bitterly intelligent, and monstrously self-absorbed, seethes under the dominion of her boorish husband. In particular his relationship with her slave Sarah, who is both his victim and his mistress. Exploring the permutations of Manon’s own obsession with Sarah against the backdrop of an impending slave rebellion, Property unfolds with the speed and menace of heat lightning, casting a startling light from the past upon the assumptions we still make about the powerful and powerful.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on actual events about an American merchant vessel discovered off the coast of Spain in 1872, this novel—from the prize-winning author of Property—is a spellbinding exploration of love, nature, and the fictions that pass as truth. • “A sly and masterly historical novel, written with intelligence and flair.” —The New York Times Book Review 1872: the American merchant vessel Mary Celeste is discovered adrift off the coast of Spain. Her cargo is intact and there is no sign of struggle, but her crew has disappeared, never to be found. As news of the derelict ghost ship spreads, the Mary Celeste captures imaginations around the world—from a Philadelphia spiritualist medium named Violet Petra to an unknown young writer named Arthur Conan Doyle. In a haunted, death-obsessed age, the Mary Celeste is by turns a provocative mystery, an inspiration to creativity, and the tragic story of a family doomed by the sea.

Book excerpt: Two women, Chloe Dale, an artist comfortably ensconced in bucolic suburbia, and Salome Drago, a wily, seductive refugee from a country that no longer exists, confront each other in a Manhattan restaurant, and the battle lines are drawn. Toby Dale, son of the artist and ardent suitor of the refugee, is in no position to choose sides. Outside, the drumbeats for the impending invasion of Iraq drown out all argument, and those who object will soon be reduced to standing in the street. The story of two families—suspicious, territorial, naïve in their confidence that they are free of the past—Trespass unfolds with commanding force. It is a bracing, tender novel for the 21st century.
Download or read book Italian Fever written by Valerie Martin and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2000-05-09 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Part romance, part gothic suspense story, this is the compelling tale of an American woman's awakening as she tumbles headlong into a mystery, art, and eros—from the bestselling, award-winning author of Property. • "Spellbinding ... A virtuoso ... Martin's competence has kindled into brilliance." —The New York Times Book Review Lucy leads a quiet, solitary life working for a best-selling (but remarkably untalented) writer. When he dies at his villa in Tuscany, Lucy flies to Tuscany to settle his affairs. What begins as a grim chore soon threatens Stark's Emersonian self-reliance--and her very sense of what is real. The villa harbors secrets: a missing manuscript, neighbors whose Byzantine arrogance veils their dark past, a phantom whose nocturnal visits tear a gaping hole in Lucy's well-honed skepticism. And to complicate matters: Massimo, a married man whose tender attentions render Lucy breathless. Smart, sophisticated, achingly beautiful, Italian Fever is one of the most original and compelling novels of the year.
