Beschreibung

The Masqueraders by Georgette Heyer is a historical romance novel set in the Georgian era of England. The story revolves around the adventures of a brother and sister, Prudence and Robin Merriot, who are forced into hiding due to their involvement in the Jacobite Rising of 1745. To escape detection, they ingeniously adopt disguises: Prudence as a man, "Peter Merriot," and Robin as a woman, "Kate Merriot." The novel is a blend of romance, intrigue, and comedy, as the siblings navigate society in their disguises, encountering various challenges and misunderstandings along the way. Prudence/Peter becomes embroiled in the romantic pursuits of a young heiress, Letitia Grayson, while Robin/Kate attracts the amorous attention of Sir Anthony Fanshawe, a dashing and astute gentleman. The plot thickens with the arrival of their enigmatic father, a master of disguise and a schemer, who involves them in a daring plot to secure a fortune.

    Tony’s quiet life with his partner in San Francisco is disrupted when an old medical folder is delivered from Argentina. Then, an email arrives. It’s Izzy, an estranged niece in Patagonia. She has news of her father’s death and questions Tony's absence. Tony is discovering that much of what he knows about his family is built on lies. Izzy's email demands a response, and the folder demands the truth. He spent years speaking for the dead as a journalist during Argentina's Dirty War, then traveling the world as a DNA specialist, but it was always someone else’s family. He sifts through his memories and begins typing the family saga to his niece. Tony taps a story about his immigrant family who settled in the bucolic Patagonian valley. A story that eventually moves to the war-time streets of Buenos Aires. 
    The Letters is a historical novel but it's more than a family saga. It’s a cautionary tale about populist politics that turn authoritarian. They preached God, family, and property while escalating struggles around race, class, and sexual identity. And, The Letters is about the secrets we keep.

    “An utterly engrossing, hilarious, and often tender novel of how one hundred-plus creative people made Broadway’s legendary, much-loved musical Camelot from scraps and sheer determination." 
    -- Stephanie Cowell, award winning author of Marrying Mozart, Claude & Camille, and The Boy in the Rain  
    ---- 
    What if the most conflicted lovers in Broadway’s Camelot aren’t Lancelot and Guenevere?  
    Set backstage during the out-of-town chaos of Lerner and Loewe’s now-classic 1960 musical, One More Seat at the Round Table portrays the struggles of feisty drama school grad Jane Conroy, who lands a plum Gal Friday job, and Bryce Christmas, a gifted, if insecure, actor on the verge of his big break. When Jane and Bryce fall helplessly in love during Toronto tryouts, their relationship is tested by mistakes they make and endless work woes: Camelot’s four-hour length, poor reviews, the illness of librettist Alan Jay Lerner, and the near-fatal coronary of director Moss Hart who quits. 
    As Lerner, composer Loewe, and their stars, Richard Burton and Julie Andrews, trudge on to Boston, doubts besiege Jane who hopes to buck convention and skip marriage and Bryce who wants a wife. They also discover hidden strengths as Jane gains agency backstage and Bryce takes charge of his talent. But will Jane’s commitment phobia derail their future? Will Camelot become a glittering hit? These questions create a tense roller-coaster ride to the end of Susan Dormady Eisenberg's wise and witty novel, a story about the transformative power of love and the luminous pull of Broadway as it casts its spell on performers and fans alike.
