Het Boek The Beautiful Dead EXPORT (1784162620) geschreven door Belinda Bauer bestel je op bruna.nl! 'To kill another human being is like crossing a river by a bridge which is then swept away behind you. You can never go back again.' It is 1792 and Europe is seized by political turmoil and violence. Lizzie Fawkes has grown up in Radical circles, where each step of the French Revolution is followed with eager idealism. But she has recently married John Diner Tredevant, a property developer who is heavily invested in Bristol's housing boom, and he has everything to lose from social upheaval and the prospect of war. As his vision of a magnificent terrace built above the two-hundred-foot drop of the Gorge is threatened, so his passion for Lizzie darkens. Her independent, questioning spirit must be coerced and subdued. She belongs to him: law and custom confirm it, and she must live as he wants. Birdcage Walk is a novel about terror and resistance, set in a time of political chaos and personal tragedy.
