Bella, raffinata ed elegante, Annette Remington è una gallerista appassionata, che ha conquistato tutti i salotti di Londra con il suo eccezionale buon gusto. Ma il vero successo arriva quando un Rembrandt a lungo dimenticato finisce quasi per caso tra le sue mani. Entusiasta, Annette organizza un'asta sensazionale diventando così una vera star nel panorama artistico mondiale. Ormai famosissima, finalmente all'apice di una carriera a lungo inseguita, Annette sa di dovere tutta la sua fortuna a una sola persona: Marius, suo marito. Più anziano di lei di una ventina d'anni, Marius non è solo il mentore che l'ha introdotta nel mondo dell'arte, ma anche l'uomo che l'ha salvata da un passato difficile, pieno di sofferenza e di dolore. Per questo, Annette si sente legata a lui da una riconoscenza profonda, un sentimento che trascende il semplice amore coniugale. L'idillio si infrange quando Marius convince Annette a concedere un'intervista a Jack Chalmers, il miglior giornalista sulla piazza. Ignaro dell'errore che ha appena commesso portando Jack nella loro vita, Marius crede sinceramente che quell'intervista consacrerà il definitivo trionfo della moglie. Ma si sbaglia. Perché non sa che nel passato di Jack si nasconde un segreto. Un segreto terribile che riguarda Annette molto da vicino. E che potrebbe distruggerli tutti, per sempre.

Londra, 1884. Un giovane ambizioso e promettente, un destino ancora da scrivere. L'Inghilterra della regina Vittoria è un Paese profondamente diviso tra ricchi e poveri, ma James Falconer vuole sottrarsi al destino già scritto della sua famiglia di umili origini. Da quando era bambino, lavora instancabilmente come ambulante al banco del padre in un fiorente mercato londinese e, sebbene abbia solo quattordici anni, sogna in grande. Ambisce a costruire un impero di negozi come i celebri grandi magazzini Fortnum & Mason e a diventare un famoso mercante. Già alla sua giovane età, infatti, James possiede tutto ciò che serve per diventare un uomo di successo: di bell'aspetto, ma non vanesio, è intelligente e pieno di fascino; determinato e ambizioso, antepone il dovere al piacere. Le sue capacità non rimarranno indifferenti alle attenzioni di Henry Malvern, proprietario del mercato in cui i Falconer lavorano: quando la sua unica figlia nonché erede, Alexis, verrà colpita da un'inaspettata tragedia, la strada di lei e quella di James finiranno per incontrarsi. E il giovane Falconer, dopo aver fatto i conti con minacce alla reputazione e alla vita, dovrà dimostrare di essere veramente padrone del suo destino. Le sorti delle famiglie inglesi dei Falconer e dei Malvern s'intrecciano in modi inaspettati tra scandali, amori e passioni, intrighi e tradimenti, in questo romanzo, il primo di una nuova saga.

La voce del cuore è un romanzo che intreccia quattro destini legati da amore, passione, amicizia e tragici fraintendimenti. Katharina Tempest, un'attrice di straordinaria bellezza, raggiunge un sensazionale successo mondiale con il suo primo film. Tuttavia, la sua vera grande interpretazione è la vita stessa, in cui manifesta una profonda instabilità interiore e un'irrefrenabile sete di fama, che sconvolge le esistenze di coloro che la amano di più. I suoi amici - il famoso attore Viktor Mason, lo scrittore Nicholas Latimer e la giovane aristocratica inglese Franceska - sono il suo pubblico più devoto, capace di adorare Katharina ma anche di scorgere oltre la facciata della sua esistenza costruita ad arte. Per oltre vent'anni, Katharina recita il suo straordinario ruolo di vita, caratterizzato da una tumultuosa storia d'amore con Nicholas e da un sincero legame con Franceska, ma tutto è presto minacciato da inganni e tradimenti. Le complesse vicende dei protagonisti e di molti altri personaggi conducono il lettore nel mondo dei famosi, dei ricchi e dei potenti di Londra, Hollywood e New York, tra castelli nello Yorkshire e in Baviera, e ville lussuose sulla Riviera e in California. La trama straordinariamente avvincente e ricca di questo libro è pervasa di romanticismo, tensione e colpi di scena ironici.

A quarant'anni, Stephanie può ritenersi abbastanza serena e appagata: nonostante sia rimasta vedova giovanissima, ha saputo allevare da sola i propri figli e anche costruire un impero economico. Ma un gesto folle commesso all'altro capo del mondo la getta in un abisso di dolore e di paura, minacciando i suoi affetti più cari e mettendo a dura prova il suo equilibrio di donna e madre.

Arrivata nel Connecticut per trascorrere un weekend nella villa di famiglia, la pluripremiata regista Justine Nolan trova una lettera indirizzata alla madre. Strano, pensa. Sono ormai anni che sua madre non vive più lì, si è trasferita altrove diradando i rapporti già difficili con i figli, e lasciando che fossero loro a occuparsi della casa. Justine, incuriosita, decide di aprire la busta. Bastano poche righe perché il mondo le crolli addosso, in un istante. Come un castello di carte al primo soffio di vento. Tutto quello che Justine ha sempre saputo sulle proprie radici è soltanto una serie interminabile di bugie. E lì, scritto nero su bianco, c'è un primo tassello, la punta di un iceberg: l'adorata nonna Gabriele - l'unica persona che l'abbia davvero amata, e che lei crede morta in un incidente aereo anni prima - in realtà è viva. Justine è sconvolta. Decisa a conoscere la verità, parte sulle tracce del proprio passato. Iniziando un viaggio che la porterà fino al confine tra Oriente e Occidente, nella città di Istanbul. La ricerca non sarà facile, ma l'incontro con un uomo affascinante e misterioso - che sembra sapere molto più di quanto vuol far credere - la aiuterà a guarire le ferite e a riscoprire le ragioni del cuore. E così, lontano da casa, i segreti verranno a galla, e finalmente anche l'amore troverà la sua strada.

Orfani e giovanissimi, Rosalind, Gavin, Nell e Kevin si incontrano alla fine degli anni Settanta e si promettono reciprocamente di essere come una famiglia: entrati nel mondo del lavoro, scalano rapidamente le vette del successo, ma a travolgere gli equilibri del gruppo arrivano due singolari e misteriosi individui...

Il giorno in cui si trasferisce a New York dall'Inghilterra, la misteriosa "M" decide di lasciarsi tutto alle spalle. Tutto, compreso il suo vero nome. Vuole dimenticare una traumatica esperienza che ha vissuto nella tranquilla campagna inglese e tagliare ogni legame con il passato. D'altronde, M è giovane, determinata e bellissima, e per una donna come lei non è certo difficile ricominciare da capo. Nella moda, per esempio: il suo eccezionale charme e la sua innata eleganza fanno di lei una top model perfetta. Così, in pochissimo tempo, diventa la musa del celebre stilista Jean-Louis Tremont, che la vuole con sé a Parigi come regina incontrastata delle passerelle. Anche Larry Vaughan, attraente divo del cinema, viene subito conquistato dal fascino di una donna tanto speciale. Ricchi, famosi e follemente innamorati, i due si sposano e diventano la coppia più ammirata del jet set internazionale, conquistando le copertine delle riviste più glamour. Finalmente M ha tutto ciò che ha sempre sognato ed è libera di seppellire gli antichi demoni. Almeno così crede, perché la sua ritrovata serenità viene presto turbata da una serie di strani incidenti, per nulla casuali. Qualcuno è deciso a distruggere il suo mondo, la sua felicità e il suo matrimonio. Ma M è pronta a tutto, pur di proteggere chi ama...

The pleasures of kindness have been well known since the dawn of western thought. Kindness, declared Marcus Aurelius, was mankind's 'greatest delight' - and centuries-worth of thinkers and writers have echoed him. But today many people seem to find these pleasures literally incredible. Instead of embracing the benefits of altruism, as a species we seem to be becoming deeply and fundamentally antagonistic to each other, with motives that are generally self-seeking. This book explains how and why this has come about, and argues that the affectionate life - a life lived in instinctive sympathetic identification with the vulnerabilities and attractions of others - is the one we should all be inclined to live. 'We mutually belong to one another,' as the philosopher Alan Ryan writes, and the good life is one 'that reflects this truth'. What the Victorians called 'open-heartedness' and the Christians 'caritas' remains essential to our emotional and mental health, for reasons both obvious and hidden, argue the authors of this elegant and indispensable exploration of the concept of kindness.
