Bøger af Carla Sarett

Offered for your reading pleasure: thirteen bites, thirteen snacks, if you will. Thirteen titillating tidbits of terror, treachery and trauma. Not all of them are frightening; one or two might even warm the cockles of your cold, stony heart. "13 Bites" is a collection of short stories - thirteen of them, by ten different authors - with a slightly twisted bent. From aliens to zombies, from a gypsy curse to the mind of a murderer, from shapeshifters to witches to... well, you'll just have to see, won't you?

A female artist fights for success in a world dominated by men and expectations of conventional sexuality...Claire Charles, a member of 1930s New York high society, has been trained in painting in preparation for marriage, but shocks everyone by pursuing art as a career and her own inclinations. In Paris, fifteen years later, she collides with Leah, a mysterious artist who has been secretly painting for her husband. When Kay Charles, Claire's 16-year year old niece, reluctantly models for a portrait, the lives of the three women become intertwined. Claire's voice alternates with James, a handsome art dealer, and Kay, who claims a special legacy. From Manhattan to Paris, galleries to artist colonies, from the 1930's to the 1970's, THE LOOKING GLASS is a story about women, art, and memory.
