The Life and Death of Sophie Stark - Anna North - Bog - Orion Publishing Co - Plusbog.dk

''If The Girl on the Train was the woman of 2015, then Sophie Stark is this year''s model. Anna North''s novel, The Life and Death of Sophie Stark , has been a hit in America, with Lena Dunham describing its protagonist as a "totally unforgettable female antihero". Out now - soon every girl on every train will be reading it'' Sunday Times Who is the real Sophie Stark? The Life and Death of Sophie Stark is the story of an enigmatic film director, told by the six people who loved her most. Brilliant, infuriating, all-seeing and unknowable, Sophie Stark makes films said to be ''more like life than life itself''. But her genius comes at a terrible cost: to her husband, to the brother she left behind, and to an actress who knows too much. With shades of We Are All Completely Beside Ourselves , A Visit from the Goon Squad and Where''d You Go, Bernadette , it combines a uniquely appealing sensibility with a compulsively page-turning plot. ''Thriller-paced, with mysteries revealed at every turn. The great mystery at the centre is Sophie Stark, a totally unforgettable female anti-hero who conforms to absolutely none of our expectations and suffers deeply for it '' Lena Dunham''North is a natural, butter-smooth storyteller'' Maggie Shipstead, author of SEATING ARRANGEMENTS''I read THE LIFE AND DEATH OF SOPHIE STARK with my heart in my mouth. Not only a dissection of genius and the havoc it can wreak, but also a thunderously good story'' Emma Donoghue, author of ROME''Jennifer Egan, eat your heart out'' Sam Baker''A captivating portrait of the artist as a young woman. It''s a story that examines the notion of artistic legacy and meditates on the ethics involved in film-making and storytelling'' THE INDEPENDENT ''Gripping and graceful'' THE GUARDIAN''The year''s must read'' GLAMOUR

Our War - Christopher Somerville - Bog - Orion Publishing Co - Plusbog.dk

Our War - Christopher Somerville - Bog - Orion Publishing Co - Plusbog.dk

Never heard before real stories of soldiers who fought in WW2 ''Extraordinary ...If they had not made our war their war also, victory might not have come in 1945'' DAILY TELEGRAPH In this powerful and moving narrative, Christopher Somerville skilfully links personal testimonies to present an epic which embraces comedy and tragedy, pride and degradation, close comradeship and stark racial prejudice, devotion to the benign Mother Country and a burning desire to see the back of her. Many of the veterans had never previously talked of their experiences, even to close loved ones. They cover such topics as attitudes to Britain before and after the war, why Commonwealth citizens offered to fight, and how some volunteers were inspired by their wartime service while others were thoroughly disillusioned. The result is a rare and faithful memoir to the five million Commonwealth citizens who fought for the Allies and the 170,000 who died or went missing.

Colonel Katterfelto has lately returned to London. He departed America under something of a cloud ... of smoke, issuing from his Spiritual Laboratory, which the townsfolk of Wormcast, Arizona, marched upon with their flaming torches. This catastrophic conflagration caused considerable concern to the pious colonel, who had been engaged in the creation of ''Heaven''s last and best gift to Mankind'', The Mechanical Messiah. And he was, after all, being guided in this Great Work by holy angels, communicating to him through his monkey butler, Darwin. It is 1897, twelve years since The War of the Worlds and two since Worlds War Two*. The British Empire encompasses Mars, and an uneasy peace exists between the peoples of Venus, Jupiter and Earth. In London there are many marvels of the modern age to be experienced. Amongst these is The Electric Alhambra Music Hall, where crowds thrill to The Earl Grey Whistle Test, a musical extravaganza featuring such top turns as Hayward''s Acrobatic Kiwis, The Travelling Formbys and the newly-arrived Colonel Katterfelto''s Clockwork Minstrels. But all is far from well in old Whitechapel, where a monster is once more abroad in the night-time streets, committing hideous acts of murder. Can this be the return of Jack the Ripper, or has something altogether unearthly materialised to spread fear, panic and mayhem? Something Hellishly evil?Famed consulting detective Cameron Bell is already on the case, but it may take nothing less than the New Messiah Himself to save London, The Empire and all of the solar system from the impending apocalypse!''Stark raving genius'' Observer *See The Japanese Devil Fish Girl and other Unnatural Attractions .
