Biografía del autor:
On a luxurious Balinese island, the charismatic tycoon Marcus Brand entertains his six godchildren. By the end of the weekend, secrets will be revealed that will change everybody¿s life, a climax to the web of lies and betrayals spun over the course of four decades. The Godchildren are Charlie Crieff - the aristocratic Old Etonian, who¿s fascinated and enthralled by Marcus¿s wealth and who devotes his life to securing an inheritance; Mary Merrett - the daughter of one of Marcus¿s business colleagues, her life is blighted by tragedy; Jamie Temple - feckless but utterly charming, he drifts from one job to another, crossing Marcus¿s path just once too often for comfort; Saffron Weaver ¿ delicate and sensitive as well as stunningly beautiful, she is unaware of her power over men ¿ and of Marcus¿s power over her; Abigail Schwartzman - insecure and gauche, she blames Marcus for the disaster of her life; Stuart Bolton - the working class son of Marcus¿s dead chauffeur, he is torn between admiration and hatred for his supremely successful, capitalist godfather.
The story of the Godchildren is unputdownable.

Buchbeschreibung Soft cover. Zustand: New. 1st Edition. A tight, clean and unmarked copy-First thus-" All the godchildren, looking back on that fateful dinner, remembered it in the same way: the vacant wooden throne at the head of the table, the huge array of wine glasses and water glasses that were always a feature of dining at any of Marcus houses, the sense of expectation and dread that hung over them like a cloud of mustard gas. In his magnificent island home overlooking the sea, the great tycoon Marcus Brand plays host to his six godchildren. But soon, secrets will be revealed that dramatically alter the tone of this holiday weekend, and all will have to confront a web of betrayals and lies spanning four decades Each from a different background, the godchildren grew up enthralled by their godfather: Charlie, fascinated by Marcus's wealth; Mary, whose life is blighted by tragedy; Jamie, feckless but utterly charming; Saffron, stunningly beautiful but unaware of her power over men; Abigail, insecure and gauche; and Stuart, who is torn between admiration and hatred for his capitalist godfather. Godchildren is an epic tale; powerful, engrossing, and impossible to put down. With his trademark blend of wicked satire and impeccable writing, Coleridge has created gloriously jaw dropping portrait of the British upper crust.". Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 021239
