In The Ice Child, Elizabeth McGregor takes readers on an epic journey into the heart of the Arctic--and into one of history's most fascinating mysteries--to tell a breathtaking story of faith, courage, and a mother's indomitable love. When Jo Harper falls in love with maverick archaeologist Doug Marshall, she also falls into Doug's obsession: the disappearance of the Franklin Expedition. In 1845, Sir John Franklin and his crew sailed two ships to the Arctic and were never seen again. Doug has spent his career in search of what happened to them, sacrificing his first marriage and his relationship with his son, John, along the way. But as he and Jo plan their future together, a shocking accident forever changes their lives. Devastated by the accident, John goes into self-imposed hiding. Desperate to find John, Jo soon learns that his fate is curiously tied to the Franklin Expedition. Haunted by Franklin and his own past, John has ventured into the ice floes of the Arctic in search of answers to what happened to Franklin's crew and to his own life. Unbeknownst to him, a frantic search is on, not only to save his life, but the life of another he doesn't know is in jeopardy.

  • When art dealer Catherine Sergeant meets John Brigham, her view of the world has been shattered. Left by her husband Robert without explanation, she expects little from life. Apparently reclusive, John lives alone in a beautiful Arts and Crafts house on the edge of Dorset woodland, and has contacted Catherine's firm so that he may sell unwanted items. But when the two discover a mutual love of the haunting Victorian faerie artist Richard Dadd, their friendship rapidly deepens. As Catherine and John begin an affair that is to change their lives, John reveals an astonishing secret that links him to Dadd. Deeply sensual, THE GIRL IN THE GREEN GLASS MIRROR is a journey not only through love and obsession, but also through the world of Richard Dadd, whose tortured life was more extraordinary that any fairy tale.

    Anna Russell (29), een kunstenares en alleenstaande moeder van Rachel (10), heeft een afspraak in Boston die haar leven moet veranderen. Tijdens de reis krijgt ze een ernstig auto-ongeluk. Terwijl Rachel lichtgewond raakt, loopt Anna hersenletsel op en raakt in coma. In Engeland heeft David Mortimer (30) zijn baan als leraar opgezegd, zijn vijfde in acht jaar. Hij is een introverte man en gedreven botanicus, gefascineerd door de davidia involucrata, de exotische vaantjesboom. David is geïnspireerd door de ontdekker van deze boom, Ernest Wilson, die in de 19e eeuw door China reisde om deze boom te vinden. Anna en David werden 11 jaar geleden in Oxford verliefd, maar Anna verdween plotseling uit zijn leven. Haar afwezigheid heeft hem nooit losgelaten. Nu vraagt Anna’s moeder hem om naar Boston te komen, waar hij geconfronteerd wordt met de schokkende realiteit van Anna’s levensbedreigende toestand en het feit dat hij een dochter heeft. David wordt overweldigd door vragen en twijfels. Wanneer hij Anna’s tekening van 'zijn' vaantjesboom vindt, besluit hij voor haar leven te vechten. Vastbesloten om haar uit haar coma te halen, begint hij haar te vertellen over Wilson’s zoektocht door China, zoals hij dat vroeger deed.
