Judith Flanders

    Judith Flanders bietet Lesern ein lebendiges Tor in die Vergangenheit, insbesondere in das komplexe soziale Gefüge des viktorianischen Englands. Ihre akribisch recherchierten Werke tauchen tief in das tägliche Leben, die Bräuche und die gesellschaftlichen Erwartungen vergangener Epochen ein. Sie erweckt historische Perioden mit einem scharfen Blick für Details und einer Fähigkeit, die oft verborgenen Motivationen, die menschliche Erfahrungen prägen, aufzudecken, zum Leben. Flanders' unverwechselbare Prosa lädt die Leser ein, sich intensiv mit der Geschichte auseinanderzusetzen und ihre anhaltende Relevanz und überraschenden Kontinuitäten aufzudecken.

      The Victorian City
    • Usually sharp-witted editor Sam Clair stumbles through her post-launch-party morning with the hangover to end all hangovers. Before the Nurofen has even kicked in, she finds herself entangled in an elaborate saga of missing neighbours, suspected arson and the odd unidentified body. When the grisly news breaks that the fire has claimed a victim, Sam is already in pursuit. Never has comedy been so deadly as Sam faces down a pair from Thugs "R" Us, aided by nothing more than a CID boyfriend, a stalwart Goth assistant and a seemingly endless supply of purple-sprouting broccoli.
