Greta Garbo first met society photographer Cecil Beaton in Hollywood in 1932. Both were caught in turbulent same-sex affairs. Yet Garbo flirted and danced with Beaton, told him he was pretty, presented him with 'a rose that lives and dies and never again returns' and at dawn drove away in her black Packard. Cecil took the rose home to England, framed it in silver and hung it above his bed. Fifteen years later Greta and Cecil met again. For her it was an idle flirtation. For him it fuelled his ambition to photograph her, to be like her and to marry her - an obsession that became a betrayal. Souhami draws on diaries, memoirs, letters, photographs and films to reveal the truth behind this fascinating and narcissistic relationship.

2024 Christy Award Finalist It promises beauty but steals life instead. Will the ghosts of Barlowe Theater entomb them all? Barlowe Theater stole the life of Greta Mercy's eldest brother during its construction. Now in 1915, the completed theater appears every bit as deadly. When Greta's younger brother goes missing after breaking into the building, Greta engages the assistance of a local police officer to help her unveil the already ghostly secrets of the theater. But when help comes from an unlikely source, Greta decides that to save her family she must uncover the evil that haunts the theater and put its threat to rest. Decades later, Kit Boyd's best friend vanishes during a ghost walk at the Barlowe Theater, and old stories of mysterious disappearances and ghoulish happenings are revived.

Kit reluctantly agrees to work with him in hopes of finding her missing friend. As the theater's curse unravels Kit's life, she is determined to put an end to the evil that has marked the theater and their hometown for the last century.

Michael and Betta Dubinsky have recently moved to Canada from war-torn Galicia. They do their best to engage with the culture, but have a hard time letting go of their own traditional values. They try to impress their Ukrainian ideals upon their children, David and Alina, but find that they are becoming more ‘Canadian’ as they get older and increasingly distanced from their Eastern European roots. While Michael and Betta get used to their new lives, Canadian Alice Reilly must deal with her own struggles. She hasn’t had contact with several of her siblings since they were separated as children, but her search for them becomes even more difficult when she marries Peter Evans and moves to Wales. Alice struggles to stay positive for the sake of her children, but when her mother-in-law’s neglect and abuse becomes too much, she takes her children, May and Roy, back to Canada. Now fully-grown, Alina and Roy attend the same university where they quickly fall in love. But can their culturally opposed families set aside their differences and embrace their children’s love?

A The Week Book of the Week 'Hugo Vickers brings tremendous authority to this life of one of the most significant and intriguing political wives of the last century. The integrity of his scholarship and his deep personal knowledge of his subject make this a compelling and definitive work.' - Professor Simon Heffer 'A vivid portrayal of a remarkable and unusual woman, her world, and her times. Hugely enjoyable.' - Jung Chang 'An engrossing and intimate biography of a remarkable and fascinating woman. Hugo Vickers deftly captures Clarissa's enigmatic personality and the glamorous world in which she moved.' - Robert Harris 'Affectionate, crisp and gossipy . . . What a lost world this book captures' - Ysenda Maxtone Graham, The Times 'A lissom, festive and very endearing biography' - Richard Davenport-Hines, Literary Review 'She made Hugo Vickers her literary executor in 1985, meaning that he had complete access to her diaries and letters' - Lynn Barber, The Daily Telegraph 'It is hard to think of another living author with such a wide knowledge of Clarissa's world, and Vickers's diligent, skilful biography is unfailingly readable - John Jolliffe, The Spectator ----- Clarissa Eden, Countess of Avon, wife of Prime Minister Anthony Eden, once famously said: 'For the past few weeks I have really felt as if the Suez Canal was flowing through my drawing-room.' With her impressive intellect and acerbic wit, she was a highly influential muse to many leading figures over several decades. At Oxford in the 1940s she fascinated dons and undergraduates alike. She went on to work in the film world for Alexander Korda and for George Weidenfeld at Contact Magazine. She was a close friend of Cecil Beaton, James Pope-Hennessy, Lucian Freud, Isaiah Berlin, and Lord Goodman. She fascinated Greta Garbo. After an early Bohemian life, she became a politically active wife to Eden when he was Foreign Secretary and Prime Minister, particularly during the Suez Crisis in 1956. Her death at 101 in 2021 has opened the way for this enthralling and revealing biography by the widely admired biographer Hugo Vickers. He knew her well for over 40 years, and consigned her revealing private papers and sharply written diaries to him. Here also are first hand contributions from friends such as Antonia Fraser. Clarissa Eden's story sheds invaluable light on a rapidly vanishing age and an extraordinary woman.
