Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint (novel), Vol. 1 [Bok / Häftad]

<strong>In the inner circle, where can you hide a secret?</strong> <br/><br/> <strong>In this compulsive story of betrayal, old bonds and buried scandals, one British establishment family comes face to face with the consequences of privilege and the true cost of power.</strong> <br/><br/>Martin and Ben were friends for decades - best friends, Martin would have said - before the terrible events at Ben's 40th birthday party tore them apart. So when Martin receives a surprise invitation back into the inner sanctum of the dazzling Fitzmaurice family after seven years of silence, he can't resist the chance to get his revenge. Ben has risen through the ranks of power, and is now touted as the next Prime Minister. But Martin can't help but notice certain flies in the ointment... Ben's wife, Serena, for instance, whose privileged existence is beginning to feel like a gilded cage. Or their daughter, Cosima, an environmental activist fighting against everything her parents once stood for. Or the disgraced MP Richard Take, determined to make his big comeback. And then there's Fliss, the Fitzmaurice black sheep, whose untimely death sparks more suspicion than closure. Through their intertwined stories, we see a family - and a nation - unravelling under the weight of its secrets. <br/><br/>With everyone watching, the stage is set for a reckoning. It's time for Martin and Ben to confront what love truly means when everything-family, power, and loyalty-is on the line.

<strong>From the author of Herc, Winner of the Somerset Maugham Award 2024 and Waterstones Best book of the Year 2023, comes the story of Aphrodite, goddess of lies.</strong> <br/><br/>'A remarkable feat of storytelling' <strong>Rosie Hewlett on <em>Herc</em></strong> <br/><br/>*************************************************** <br/><br/> <em>'I'm a liar, to begin with.' </em> <br/><br/>I wasn't always a goddess, you see. My only real power was my beauty - you'll have heard. It's legendary. But that was never going to be enough for me. <br/><br/> <br/><br/>It took a web of lies to convince the gods of Olympus I was one of them. But I did. I was <em>that</em> good. Zeus gave me a title and riches and loved me. And all he wanted in return was for me to love him back. <br/><br/> <br/><br/>But of course, Zeus was a tyrant. (Not entirely surprising when you're ninety per cent insecurities and ten per cent raw power.) I couldn't live at someone's mercy. Really, I had no choice. I had to take on the mightiest Olympian of all. And this bit's not a lie... I intended to win. <br/><br/> <strong>From the award-winning author of <em>Herc,</em> this is the riveting tale of how a nobody became a goddess, and then planned to take down the most powerful god of them all. </strong> <br/><br/>*************************************************** <br/><br/> <strong>Praise for Phoenicia Rogerson:</strong> <br/><br/>'Wickedly fun and devilishly dark' <strong>Cari Thomas, author of <em>Threadneedle</em></strong> <br/><br/>'Rogerson's writing is powerful and nuanced, giving a fresh perspective on a classic tale and turning it into something completely unforgettable' Reader review <br/><br/>'A captivating retelling with a very definite, personal voice, and a sharp, fresh perspective' <strong>Genevieve Cogman, author of <em>Scarlet</em></strong> <br/><br/>'I liked that it was told in a modern tone and from the various perspectives.

<em>It's always three, isn't it? Three furies, three fates, three graces. Science still has no explanation for the number three, but women instinctively feel its power. We don't know why three works, but we know it does. Three is the number that gets the job done.</em> <br/><br/>Five generations of Sadie Duncan's descendants claimed the beautiful Wild Hill as their home, each generation of witches stronger than the last. Then, in the aftermath of a tragedy, the last of the Duncans, prophesised to be the most powerful of their kind, abandoned Wild Hill forever. <br/><br/>Brigid moved to California and turned her gift into fame and fortune. Her sister Phoebe settled on a ranch in Texas, where women visit in secret for her tonics, and Phoebe's daughter, Sybil, became a famous chef. <br/><br/>Now Brigid, Phoebe, and Sibyl have been brought back to Wild Hill for one thing: The Old One, furious at the path mankind has taken, has chosen them to lead a magical revolution. But first, the Duncan women must confront their pasts, because only once they have each stepped into their power can they fulfil their destiny ... <br/><br/> <strong>Blending witchcraft, magic, and family legacy, <em>The Women of Wild Hill </em>is a modern-day novel about witches and sisterhood that will make everyone believe the power to change the world is in their hands.</strong> <br/><br/> <strong>* * * * </strong> <br/><br/> <strong>Praise for Kirsten Miller:</strong> <br/><br/>'A roar of rage, a pacy page-turner, I loved it' <strong>Marian Keyes</strong> <br/><br/>'A story that's as furious as it is tender.
