Louise Levene

    Louise Levene verfasst köstlich boshafte und geistreiche Erzählungen, die sich mit den dunkleren Aspekten der menschlichen Natur befassen und Themen wie Skandal, Begierde und die unerwarteten Schnittstellen von Wissenschaft und Gesellschaft miteinander verbinden. Ihre Erzählungen zeichnen sich durch einen scharfen, prägnanten Stil aus, der die Komplexität des historischen und gegenwärtigen Lebens einfängt. Levenes einzigartige Stimme bietet eine überzeugende Mischung aus Unterhaltung und aufschlussreichem Kommentar zu den Torheiten und Triumphen ihrer Charaktere. Ihre Arbeit entführt die Leser in Welten, in denen Intrigen und clevere Beobachtung vorherrschen.

      A Vision of Loveliness
    • 'A whip-smart comedy, chock-full with glamour, secret agents and sun-drenched Californian orange groves - seriously, what could be more heavenly?' Saga It is September 1940 and Evelyn Murdoch, a translator from the Postal Censorship department, is uprooted from her home in wartime Woking and transferred to Hollywood. She is to assist a mysterious British agent in his attempts to outwit the Los Angeles German delegation and boost the British propaganda war effort. The unhappy young widow is supplied with a new Californian wardrobe, a Bel Air bungalow and her own desk in the writers' block of Miracle Studios. At first bewildered by the glamorous excesses of this strange new world, she is gradually seduced by the sunlight, orange groves and clever, fast-talking men. But, just as she begins to blossom, her new technicolor ending threatens to slip from her grasp.
