'An utterly compelling, atmospheric, twisty domestic suspense novel that packs a real emotional punch.' Alice Hunter\n\nThe perfect life. The perfect home. But at what price?\n\nIntrospective Ruth Parker is desperate for love and attention. Overlooked as a child by her cold and critical mother, her pain manifests in loneliness and a crippling lack of self-esteem. When glamorous actress 'Aunt' Vanessa, her mother's childhood friend, shows an interest in her, Ruth basks in the blinding light of her attention.\n\nOnce Ruth escapes to university in London, Aunt Vanessa invites her to Wilton Place, her stunning Belgravia residence. As she blossoms under Vanessa's guidance, Ruth finds herself torn between student life and the hypnotic, luxurious confines of Wilton Place. Belgravia wins out, but when Ruth explores the gloomy attic of her new home and finds a hidden, locked door, she discovers that Vanessa is hiding the darkest of secrets from her childhood, secrets that threaten everything Ruth knew about her own mother.\n\nHow far will Ruth go to find the truth - and how much does she really want to know?\n\nA twisty, Gothic-inspired chiller that fans of Kate Morton, Louise Douglas and Kathleen McGurl will love.\n\nReaders can't put down The Attic at Wilton Place:\n\n'I loved The Attic at Wilton Place. The wonderful writing and characterisation drew me in instantly, as did the hint of secrets soon to be revealed. A satisfying read - highly recommended!' Elisabeth Carpenter\n\n'I loved it so much and couldn't put it down. First class story, first class character development. Everything I relish in a novel.' Amanda Robson\n\n'Brilliantly addictive and absorbing, with that perfect touch of darkness I have come to expect from this author. I devoured it in an evening!' D.E. White\n\n'This book was easily one of the best I've read in the last few years ... the story kept me hooked ... I struggled to put it down ... The twist at the end where her motives are revealed were not what I was expecting at all... ' Reader Review\n\n'Another suspense-filled book by C E Rose. I literally could not put it down ... I can definitely recommend this book, with it's Gothic feel.' Reader Review\n\n'Heart-pounding thriller that left me on the edge of my seat. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this one.

Wilton Park was once a secret camp for interrogating enemy generals during World War II. But it took on its true, unique role in 1946 as a training centre for German prisoners-of-war. This volume tells of its history and the extraordinary life of Heinz Koeppler, its founding father.

The collection of pictures at Wilton has been celebrated since the seventeenth century; and its historic arrangement is uniquely well documented in a series of catalogues of which the first, issued in 1731, was the earliest such publication about any private collection in England. Of successive owners of the house, three made significant contributions: William, 4th Earl of Pembroke, who commissioned van Dyck's monumental portrait of his family that dominates the Double Cube Room he had created; his grandson, Thomas, 8th Earl of Pembroke who assembled what was in some respects a pioneering collection of old master pictures for the house; and his grandson, Henry, 10th Earl of Pembroke, patron of Reynolds and Wilson, among others. Such masterpieces as Lucas van Leyden's Card Players, Cesare da Sesto's Leda - long attributed to Leonardo - and Ribera's Democritus are matched by remarkable portrait drawings by Raphael and Holbein. These are complemented by a substantial deposit of family portraits and other pictures that attest to the tastes and interests of successive generations of the Herbert family.

Definito dal CFO della World Bank John Wilton \"un'eccellente guida su come andare avanti con i nostri sforzi riformatori, tesi a incrementare uno sviluppo efficace\", questo volume raccoglie una serie di proposte il cui fine è rinnovare il profilo del CFO e agevolarne i compiti. In un periodo storico in cui le imprese, assillate dalla minaccia degli scandali finanziari e dal labirinto di regole che ne sono conseguite, richiedono performance sempre più complesse, Jeremy Hope \"ridisegna il ruolo della finanza all'interno delle moderne organizzazioni\" (Gary Crittenden, CFO di American Express), offrendo esempi pratici e utili punti di vista, colti dall'interno delle aziende, su come i manager possano lavorare insieme per migliorare le performance. L'obiettivo da perseguire? Il CFO deve condurre \"una crociata contro la complessità\" i cui obiettivi sono \"chiarezza, semplicità, trasparenza e responsabilità\", \"divenire un membro fidato e responsabile del team di sviluppo dell'attività aziendale\". Questi, in sintesi, alcuni dei suggerimenti racchiusi in questo volume, la cui lettura è \"fondamentale per chiunque voglia assumere un ruolo di responsabilità nell'ambito della finanza\" (Ken Lever, CFO della Tomkins Group). Un volume importante, che chiude con un'ampia rassegna di interviste ai CFO di aziende italiane leader.

This volume, covering structures as diverse as garden follies and railway workers' housing is an essential reference for visitors and residents alike.

Dartmoor, Inghilterra, 1826. Il corpo di Edith Wilton, giovane donna dai lunghi capelli rossi, viene ritrovato senza vita sulla riva di un fiume, completamente avvolto da hedera helix o edera comune. A eseguire la sua autopsia è il dottor Charles Norland, un uomo di scienza tormentato dai ricordi della guerra anglo-nepalese, che si è da poco rifugiato nel Devonshire in cerca di pace. L'edera è ovunque, tra i capelli della ragazza, nei vestiti, fra le dita dei piedi, e la prima supposizione del medico è che si tratti di suicidio. Ma è solo l'ipotesi più logica di un mistero che ben presto perde ogni aspetto di razionalità e inizia a mietere nuove vittime. Chi era davvero Edith Wilton? La ricerca della verità sulla morte della ragazza dell'edera si trasforma lentamente in un'ossessione, trascinando il dottor Norland in una realtà popolata da antichi riti celtici e da una natura potente e inquieta. Una realtà primordiale che sfugge alle regole dell'uomo, di cui il villaggio di Dartmoor sembra essere la porta e la giovane Edith Wilton la chiave.

'This is the most startlingly honest book about grief I have ever read. Its immediacy hits you on the first page and takes you on an unforgettable journey. No one has set out so clearly the stages we go through as we try to come to terms with facing the enormity of death.' - Dame Penelope Wilton, DBE\n\n'Sasha writes exquisitely and honestly, the sheer rawness of what she has gone through and is still going through, sitting in balance with the calm and clear-sighted objectivity of the therapist, who is also her.' - Hugh Bonneville\n\nOne person, two perspectives on grief. Plunged unexpectedly into widowhood at just 49 years old, psychotherapist Sasha Bates describes in searing honesty the agonisingly raw feelings unleashed by the loss of her husband and best friend, Bill. At the same time, she attempts to keep her therapist hat in place and create some perspective from psycho-analytic theory. From the depths of her confusion she gropes for ways to manage and bear the pain - by looking back at all that she has learnt from psychotherapeutic research, and from accepted grief theories, to help her make sense of her altered reality.\n\nLanguages of Loss starts a necessary and overdue conversation about death and loss. It breaks down taboos and tries to find humour and light amidst the depressing, bewildering reality. It is an essential companion to help support readers through the agony of those early months, giving permission for all the feelings, and offering various methods of living with them.This book's overriding message is that everyone's experience of grief is different, but knowing more about the theory, and learning a new vocabulary, while not necessarily easing the grief, can help you feel less alone, and at some point enable you to reflect back and see how far you have come.\n\n'This is a useful as well as a moving book. The writing is energetic, down-to-earth and bracingly honest, and many readers will feel consoled and enlightened by Bates's take on her experience.' - Cathy Rentzenbrink, The Times\n\n'Bates's skill as a psychotherapist is married to her deft ability to use language and metaphor to create this vital treatise on loss. As much as Languages of Loss is an essential text on grief, it is also a story of love.' - Sunday Business Post Review\n\n'This book will give anyone grieving the death of their partner an insight into their experience, and help those around them understand the difficult and painful process of grief.' - Julia Samuel, author of This Too Shall Pass and Grief Works

I hadn't read a book before that melds the professional, as a psychotherapist, and the personal, as someone that lost their partner. Sasha's book covers the course of one year since she lost her husband Bill, where she describes how she feels and tries to apply what she has learnt as a therapist. She explores the times when that really exposes the shortcomings of grief counselling, and how incapable anything is really at helping you navigate...

Robert Wilton Bungey was unquestionably an RAF hero. From the very beginning of the Second World War he was patrolling Germany's border with the AASF. In the retreat from France he survived frantic day and night bombing missions flying obsolete, outclassed Fairey Battles against overwhelming odds. Many others didn't survive.\n\nWhen Fighter Command desperately needed pilots in the Battle of Britain, he volunteered. He survived again when his Hurricane was shot down near the Isle of Wight. Converting to Spitfires, he commanded such aces as Jean 'Pyker' Offenberg, Paddy Finucane and Bluey Truscott, his leadership from-the-front gaining their trust and respect.\n\nWhile he was CO of 452 (RAAF) Squadron, it topped Fighter Command's monthly tallies three times in a row. Later, commanding RAF Hawkinge, he was linked with air-sea rescue and Combined Operations Command.\n\nAfter more than three years of active war service, he returned to Australia for Sybil, his English bride waiting with a son he had never seen. But this story of triumph against all the odds has an extraordinary ending: at once a terrible tragedy and something of a miracle...\n\nSpitfire Leader is illustrated with many photographs never before published.

Agatha Christie’s ingenious murder mystery, now a sensational two-part thriller broadcast over Christmas on BBC One.\n Starring David Jonsson as Fitzwilliam, alongside Morfydd Clark as Bridget; Penelope Wilton as Miss Pinkerton, Tom Riley as Lord Whitfield, Douglas Henshall as Major Horton, Mathew Baynton as Dr Thomas, Mark Bonnar as Reverend Humbleby and Tamzin Outhwaite as Mrs Pierce.\n \n In a quiet English village, a killer is about to strike. Again and again.\n \n\n\n Luke Fitzwilliam found it hard to credit Miss Pinkerton’s wild allegation that a multiple murderer was at work in the quiet English village of Wychwood – or her speculation that the local doctor was next in line.\n\n\n But within hours, Miss Pinkerton had been found dead. Crushed by a passing car. Mere coincidence? Luke was inclined to think so – until another victim is found dead.

I saggi raccolti nel presente volume sono il risultato di ricerche svolte nell'ambito degli Studi di genere. Mary Sidney, contessa di Pembroke e animatrice del circolo Wilton, traduce il Triumphus Mortis nell'Inghilterra di fine Cinquecento inserendosi a pieno titolo nel petrarchismo femminile pur non optando per la ripresa della forma canzoniere. Già a metà del Cinquecento Louise Labé, con i suoi ventiquattro sonetti a tema amoroso, pur formalmente più vicina al modello aveva fatto propri alcuni dei segni dell'antipetrarchismo francese. A distanza di quattrocento anni la traduzione di Rainer Maria Rilke dei sonetti della poetessa di Lione conferma la forza del petrarchismo femminile e della traduzione come mezzo di sopravvivenza delle opere.

Pubblicato nel 1594, \"Il viaggiatore sfortunato\" rappresenta il primo esempio di romanzo picaresco inglese. In Italia venne pubblicato nel 1972 nella collana Centopagine diretta da Italo Calvino, ma da allora è stato dimenticato. Racconta le avventure di un paggio, Jack Wilton, che segue l'esercito in Francia e visita l'Italia al seguito del padrone, il conte di Surrey, tra scherzi giocati ai potenti, fughe rocambolesche per salvarsi la pelle e la storia d'amore con la cortigiana Diamante. Un libro divertente, una satira sferzante che dai tempi di Enrico Vili si fa beffe di militari, dotti e mascalzoni.

Dedicato a un problema epistemologico tra i più discussi nel tardo Medioevo, il volume esamina alcune posizioni esemplari (Duns Scoto, Aureolo, Wilton, Burley e Ockham), che danno un’idea circa le forze in campo e le ricorrenti difficoltà di soluzione. Vengono quindi prese in esame le teorie di Buridano, cui Marsilio di Inghen per lo più aderisce. Si analizzano infine le tesi dello stesso Marsilio, e si rileva come il filosofo e teologo olandese dia prova di notevole autonomia.

'This is the most startlingly honest book about grief I have ever read. Its immediacy hits you on the first page and takes you on an unforgettable journey.

Pubblicato nel 1594, \"Il viaggiatore sfortunato\" rappresenta il primo esempio di romanzo picaresco inglese. In Italia venne pubblicato nel 1972 nella collana Centopagine diretta da Italo Calvino, ma da allora è stato dimenticato. Racconta le avventure di un paggio, Jack Wilton, che segue l'esercito in Francia e visita l'Italia al seguito del padrone, il conte di Surrey, tra scherzi giocati ai potenti, fughe rocambolesche per salvarsi la pelle e la storia d'amore con la cortigiana Diamante. Un libro divertente, una satira sferzante che dai tempi di Enrico Vili si fa beffe di militari, dotti e mascalzoni.
