Moore Lucy

    Lucy Moore se sumerge con agrado en las dramáticas y a menudo crudas historias de vida del pasado. Su obra destaca por una penetrante exploración de la naturaleza humana, centrándose a menudo en personajes al margen de la sociedad, donde el crimen, el ascenso y la caída social se entrelazan. Moore recrea magistralmente vívidas imágenes de épocas históricas, transportando a los lectores a un mundo de intrigas y dramas personales. Su enfoque se basa en una rigurosa investigación histórica, que sin embargo da vida con una narrativa cautivadora.

      "In Maharanis Lucy Moore recreates the lives of four women: two grandmothers, a daughter and a granddaughter, all of them princesses of the royal courts of India." "Full of spirit and courage, each maharani changed the world she lived in, shaping the way modern Indian women define themselves. This is an intimate portrait of a nation during an era of great change - the rise and fall of the Raj and India's long road to Independence and beyond."

      This is an exhilarating portrait of the era of invention, glamour and excess from one of the brightest young stars of mainstream history writing. Bracketed by the catastrophes of the Great War and the Wall Street Crash, the 1920s was a time of fear and hedonism. The decade glittered with seduction: jazz, flappers, wild all-night parties, the birth of Hollywood, and a glamorous gangster-led crime scene forced to flourish under prohibition. It was punctuated by terrifying events—the political show trials of Sacco and Vanzetti; the huge march down Washington DC's Pennsylvania Avenue by the Ku Klux Klan—and produced a glittering array of artists, musicians and film stars, from F. Scott Fitzgerald to Bessie Smith to Charlie Chaplin.Here, Lucy Moore interweaves the most compelling stories of the people and events that characterized the decade to produce a gripping account of an often-overlooked period. In doing so, she demonstrates that the jazz age was far more than just 'between wars'; it was an epoch of passion and change—an age, she observes, that was not unlike our own. The world she evokes is one of effortless allure and terrifying drama: a world that was desperate to escape itself.
