Rebecca Whitney Livres
Cette auteure explore le 'diable domestique', se penchant sur les profondeurs cachées des gens ordinaires et les actions moralement discutables qu'ils entreprennent. Bien que sa carrière d'écrivaine ait commencé plus tard dans la vie, elle a toujours été une conteuse, tissant des récits à travers la performance, le cinéma et la photographie avant même d'écrire des romans. Son expérience dans l'industrie du cinéma et de la télévision informe sa fiction, à laquelle elle est revenue après avoir eu des enfants, réalisant un profond besoin de raconter beaucoup plus d'histoires. Au-delà de sa propre production créative, elle se consacre à l'enseignement de l'écriture créative, au mentorat d'écrivains émergents et occasionnellement au DJing.

However, control, not love, fuels their relationship and David has no idea his wife indulges in drunken indiscretions. When Rachel kills a man in a hit and run, the meticulously maintained veneer over their life begins to crack. Destroying all evidence of the accident, David insists they continue as normal. Rachel though is racked with guilt and as her behaviour becomes increasingly self-destructive she not only inflames David's darker side, but also uncovers her own long-suppressed memories of shame. Can Rachel confront her past and atone for her terrible crime? Not if her husband has anything to do with it . . .A startling, dark and audacious novel set in and around the Brighton streets, The Liar's Chair will keep readers on the edge of their seats until the final page has been turned. A stunning psychological portrait of a woman in a toxic marriage, Rebecca Whitney's debut will show that sometimes the darkest shadow holds the truth you have been hiding from . . .
