Fama D: House of Monstrous Women / B

House of Monstrous Women

A delightful compendium of musings from the master of life writing, the much-loved Blake Morrison, for those who practise the art of memoir, and those who read it.ON MEMOIR is a gloriously freewheeling exploration of narrative non-fiction, its challenges, ethics and charms, and its power to move and change us.From AI to Ethics to Politics to Sex, there is something for every reader and writer in this modern classic.Gleaned from a lifetime as a passionate reader of others' lives, as well as an unflinchingly honest chronicler of his own, Morrison's A-Z is a trove of thoughtful literary exploration, amusing observations, and fascinating finds.

An A-Z of Life Writing

On Memoir

'Superb ... Witty, assured, energisingly original' GUARDIAN 'Razor-edged and emotionally rich ... Exquisite' LUCY ROSE, AUTHOR OF THE LAMB 'A literary star in the making' MARIE CLAIRE *** Introducing an outstanding new voice in literary fiction: a sensual, sharp, and utterly compelling campus novel about grief, reinvention, and the ripple effects of telling lies If I ever woke up with an ungodly dread - that I could change it all now, turn around, and confess - I ignored it. I had never been good, and there was no point in trying now. On a small liberal arts campus in upstate New York, Charlotte begins her final year with a lie. Her father died over the summer, she says. Heart attack. Very sudden. Charlotte had never been close with her classmates but as she repeats her tale, their expressions soften into kindness. And so she learns there are things worth lying for: attention, affection, and, as she embarks on a relationship with fellow student Katarina, even love. All she needs to do is keep control of the threads that hold her lie - and her life - together. But six thousand miles away, alone in the grey two-up-two-down Staffordshire terrace she grew up in, her father is very much alive, watching television and drinking beer. Charlotte has always kept difficult truths at arm's length, but his resolve to visit his distant daughter might just be the one thing she can't control. 'The kind of interior voice that ensnares you ... The art college campus novel I've always wanted.... Grace Murray is one of those writers who you can devote yourself to' CLAIRE KOHDA, AUTHOR OF WOMAN, EATING

Blank Canvas

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of First Lie Wins, a tense, feverish thriller about two women's lives that are forever intertwined when a murder threatens to expose them both. Everyone at Chantilly's Bar noticed out-of-towner Camille Bayliss. Red lips, designer heels, sipping a Negroni. Flirted a little with a local but returned alone to her bed-and-breakfast before midnight in her sleek car. But that woman wasn't Camille Bayliss. It was Aubrey Price. Aubrey has been haunted by the terrible night that changed her life a decade ago, and she's convinced Benjamin Bayliss knows something about it. Living in a house full of criminals, Aubrey understands there's more than one way to get to the truth - and she may have found the perfect way in. Camille Bayliss appears to have the picture-perfect life; she's married to hotshot lawyer Ben and is the daughter of a wealthy Louisiana family. Only nothing is as it seems: Camille believes Ben has been hiding dirty secrets for years, but she can't find proof because he tracks her every move. Aubrey and Camille hatch a plan. It sounds simple: For twelve hours, Aubrey will take Camille's place. Camille will spy on Ben, and the two women will get the answers they desperately seek. Except the next morning, Ben is found murdered. Both women need an airtight alibi, but only one of them has it. And one false step is all it takes for everything to come undone. It can be murder to walk in another woman's shoes...

The Feverishly Addictive New Thriller from the No. 1 Bestselling Author of First Lie Wins
