  • "It is 1887, and London is in turmoil. Grand celebrations are planned for Queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee, but poverty, unemployment and Irish terrorism mean strikes, riots and bomb plots. Maribel Campbell Lowe, the beautiful Chilean wife of an aristocratic Liberal MP, is determined to ignore the troubles and make a name for herself as an artist."
  • "PLAYAWAY. 1887. An unsettled London is preparing for Queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee. For Maribel Campbell Lowe, the beautiful, bohemian wife of a maverick politician, it is the year she plans to make her own mark on the world. But her husband's outspoken views inspire enmity as well as admiration - and the wife of a member of parliament should not be hiding the kind of secrets Maribel has buried in her past. When a notorious newspaper editor begins to take an uncommon interest in her, Maribel fears he will destroy not only her husband's career but both of their reputations. Beautiful Lies is set in a Jubilee year that, fraught with economic uncertainty, riots and tabloid scandal-mongering, uncannily presages our own. Clark has created a brilliant, riveting novel that illuminates both Victorian England and our own times."
