You know what you can have when you're a Prince? Anything you want—anyone you want. Except her. Charlotte Carlisle is the only woman I've ever loved and never touched—because lusting after your brother's future queen is frowned upon. It never mattered that their betrothal was a political move made by our parents, that they didn't love each other—she was completely off limits to everything but my constant fantasies. And I've spent the last decade pushing her away, desperate to save my sanity. Now that my brother abdicated the throne for his true love and left me holding the crown, the one woman I've always wanted is the same person enlisted to help me choose my future Queen. Thirty-six gorgeous debutantes are vying for the position, but Charlotte's it. The only woman I'll accept, and the only woman who refuses the offer. Constantly. I've got four weeks to marry to solidify my claim to the throne, or my country will descend into chaos. The anti-monarchists are waiting for me to slip, and with over a thousand years of Wyndham tradition running through my veins, I can't afford to fail. But to win Charlotte, I've got to give her the one thing she's never had: A choice. And her decision could burn us all. Contains mature themes.Voir livre

In the discovery of a fossilized tree stump deep off the coast of Bermuda, Angela Barry finds a potent metaphor of long-term climate change against which to measure the alarms, resentments and hopes of future possibilities expressed by her characters as they respond to Bermuda's emergence from colonial status. Modernity brings challenges to the old racial, cultural and religious hierarchies that have dominated the island. Told through a group of characters brought together in shared responsibility for Genesis, a young Black adolescent on the verge of incarceration as a juvenile offender, and by Genesis herself, Barry explores a clashing of subcultures, each with the sense that their Bermuda is the one that possesses the island's virtues. There is Nina, from the respectable Black middle-class, with her own prickly uncertainties and moral hang-ups; Lizzie, fighting for her own space in a Portuguese family railing against changing times; Tess, battling with guilt over her white privilege and her reluctance to lose its benefits; and Hugh, a young Welshman who has come to the island to find himself. Above all, in the character of Genesis, Barry creates a dynamic and winning portrayal of the energies, hopes, conscience and vulnerabilities of youth. Beyond the human world with all its divisions, there are the little-known islands of Bermuda, for whose stunning beauties and sometimes urban ugliness Barry has a vividly descriptive eye.Voir livre
