Dans l'ouest du Montana, le Ranch Bodine, foyer des Longbow depuis quatre générations, est une entreprise familiale florissante. Son hôtel, une destination idyllique courue par les touristes, est aujourd'hui dirigé par Bodine Longbow, jeune femme talentueuse qui a pris la relève et jongle habilement avec les humeurs changeantes de sa grande tribu. Ce décor de carte postale vole en éclats quand le cadavre d'une barmaid est retrouvé sur les terres du ranch. Cette macabre découverte est suivie peu après par celle d'une deuxième victime. Bodine doit alors faire preuve de sang-froid, car la police soupçonne l'un de ses employés, Cal. Pourtant la jeune femme refuse d'y croire. Cal, l'ami de ses frères, qu'elle connaît depuis des années, l'homme séduisant et sensible, par qui elle est secrètement attirée, ne peut pas être le tueur. Au cœur de la tourmente, un autre évènement bouleverse l'exploitation : Alice, la tante de Bodine, disparue mystérieusement dans les années 1990, réapparaît soudainement. Alors que tous la croyaient enfuie, l'histoire étrange qu'elle raconte sur son passé – et les implications de son retour – va mettre à rude épreuve les liens de confiance tissés entre les membres de la famille... et plonger Bodine dans des ténèbres d'une noirceur qu'elle n'aurait jamais soupçonnée.

"In rural Iran, a spirited village girl approaches the age of marriage, only to find her destiny shattered after a fiery comet blazes ominously across the desert sky. On the death of her beloved father, the young woman and her distraught mother are forced into a difficult new life in the fabled city of Isfahan. Taken in as house servants by her uncle Gostaham, a well-to-do carpet designer, and his demanding wife, the two women confront an unforgiving world." "When the heroine blossoms as a brilliant maker of carpets under her uncle's tutelage, the future brightens. But disaster strikes again when an impetuous act results in the heroine's disgrace, forcing her into a secret marriage. If she is to thrive, she must risk the family's reputation and rely on her artistic genius, and her extraordinary will, to save herself and her mother." "Seventeenth-century Iran comes alive in all its splendour and cultural nuance in this luminous novel. The bustle of bazaars overflowing with rosewater and saffron; the breathtakingly beautiful silk and gold rugs of the Shah's carpet workshop; and Isfahan's incomparable bridges, gardens, teahouses, and hammams: all are captured here."--BOOK JACKET.

Iran in 1576 is a place of wealth and dazzling beauty. But when the Shah dies without having named an heir, the court is thrown into tumult. Princess Pari, the Shah’s daughter and protégée, knows more about the inner workings of the state than almost anyone, but her maneuvers to instill order after her father’s sudden death incite resentment and dissent. Pari and her closest adviser, Javaher, a eunuch able to navigate the harem as well as the world beyond the palace walls, possess an incredible tapestry of secrets that explode in a power struggle of epic proportions. Legendary women—from Anne Boleyn to Queen Elizabeth I to Mary, Queen of Scots—changed the course of history in the royal courts of England. While they are celebrated, few people know of the powerful and charismatic women in the Muslim world. Based loosely on Princess Pari Khan Khanoom, Equal of the Sun is a riveting story of political intrigue that brings one extraordinary woman to light. Anita Amirrezvani is a master storyteller, and her lustrous prose brings to life this rich and labyrinthine world with a stunning cast of characters—passionate and brave men and women who defy or embrace their destiny in a Machiavellian game played by those who lust for power and will do anything to attain it.

Originally published in hardcover in 2015 by Simon & Schuster.

THE DIRTY GIRLS SOCIAL CLUB is sassy, funny, moving and smart, an unputdownable read. It is the story of six very different women who met at college in Boston and swore to be friends for the rest of their lives. They call themselves the Dirty Girls Social Club. The only obvious thing they have in common is that they are all professional women and Latin American, but the real thing about them is that their lives tap into universal truths about women and sisterhood. There is Lauren, a journalist, who is used to getting what she wants and kicking ass when she doesn't, except when it comes to men... - Sara, wife of a corporate lawyer, upstanding member of the Jewish community, one of the best interior designers and party givers around, and seriously uptight... - Elizabeth, the beautiful co-host for a TV morning show and former runway model with a secret which will test the bonds of their friendship to the limit... - Rebecca, owner and founder of the most popular Hispanic woman's magazine in the market; nobody works the room like she does.... - Amber, a rock singer waiting for her first big break, the spiritual one of the group...

Set in the extreme landscape of Alaska, THE QUALITY OF SILENCE follows the story of Yasmin and her deaf daughter Ruby. Yasmin arrives in Alaska to be told her husband, Matt, is dead, the victim of a catastrophic accident. Yasmin, unable to accept this as truth, sets out into the frozen winter landscape, taking Ruby with her in search of answers. But as a storm closes in, Yasmin realises that a very human danger may be keeping pace with them. And with no one else on the road to help, they must keep moving, alone and terrified, through an endless Alaskan night. In a story that explores the very limits of human resilience, The Quality of Silence is as much about a mother learning to hear her deaf daughter as it is about their journey across the vastness of Alaska, and proves, once again, that Rosamund Lupton is a storyteller of class and elegance.
