Lorsque la jeune journaliste anglaise, Jo Harper, tombe amoureuse de l'archéologue Douglas Marshall, elle ne se doute pas qu'elle va aussi épouser son obsession : le sort de l'expédition Franklin disparue en 1845 en Arctique alors qu'elle tentait de trouver le Passage du NordOuest. Douglas a consacré sa vie à élucider ce mystère, au détriment de son premier mariage et, surtout, de sa relation avec son fils John. Mais le malheur s'abat sur Jo lorsque Douglas disparaît tragiquement. Cherchant désespérément à renouer avec John, la jeune femme découvre que ce dernier s'est lancé seul dans une impossible aventure dans le Grand Nord pour réaliser le rêve de Douglas. Jo va se précipiter à son tour dans une folle course contre la montre pour sauver son beau-fils et la vie d'un tout jeune enfant qui a tant besoin de son frère. Avec ce roman où l'aventure, le courage et la toute-puissance de l'amour sont intimement mêlés, Elizabeth McGregor est devenue un auteur reconnu en Europe et aux Etats-Unis.

When art dealer Catherine Sergeant meets John Brigham, her view of the world has been shattered. Left by her husband Robert without explanation, she expects little from life. Apparently reclusive, John lives alone in a beautiful Arts and Crafts house on the edge of Dorset woodland, and has contacted Catherine's firm so that he may sell unwanted items. But when the two discover a mutual love of the haunting Victorian faerie artist Richard Dadd, their friendship rapidly deepens. As Catherine and John begin an affair that is to change their lives, John reveals an astonishing secret that links him to Dadd. Deeply sensual, THE GIRL IN THE GREEN GLASS MIRROR is a journey not only through love and obsession, but also through the world of Richard Dadd, whose tortured life was more extraordinary that any fairy tale.

'I am sixteen. I am as old as the century'It is 1916. Vincent is sixteen, on the brink of manhood. Vincent is aristocratic and privileged, frequenting the salons of Paris while France is at war and the city almost deserted of men. In that brutal summer, Vincent's beauty and precocity captivate two men: Marcel, some thirty years his senior, a writer and celebrated socialite; and Arthur, the twenty-one year old son of one of the servants, who is now a soldier at the front. Both relationships become love affairs of a kind - of the mind or of the body. Vincent intuitively tries to keep his passions separate, but over the weeks of indolent Parisian summer and far-off war, confidences are made, absences endured, secrets revealed. All of these men will suffer, and Vincent will lose the last vestiges of his childhood innocence. In the Absence of Men is a stunning first novel: in its daring in representing Marcel Proust as a character, in the beauty of its prose and in its delicacy of feeling. It is a quite remarkable debut.
