Articoli correlati a Lying In Bed
Do you cover up or reveal it all; seek revenge or just reassurance; let the truth be naked as the day or cloaked in a night-time story? Vengeful wives, jealous husbands, femme fatales, reluctant fiancees, daddy's girls, secretive nannies, worldly children - the men and women of Polly Samson's debut fiction all have stories to tell, pasts to forget, futures to forge. Manipulative or meek, used or using, all are aware of the power of truth, deception & little white lies to get what they want or sometimes what they deserve. Some are concerned with the economies of speech, those little 'kindnesses' which protect our loved ones but really ourselves; some investigate the warped logic which adults serve out to children to keep them 'innocent'; all are concerned with the beds we make & the lies we tell in them. . .

Highly intelligent, fresh and compelling. Samson has definitely made her mark (THE TIMES)
Samson's writing is fluent ... She has a slyness that occasionally recalls Roald Dahl (SUNDAY TIMES)
Samson is a sympathetic and observant narrator... these are clever, elegant pieces, complex, compact and memorable. (INDEPENDENT)
