Angelica Garnett
Biographies & Memoirs / History / Literature
Angelica Garnett may truly be called a child of Bloomsbury. Her Aunt was Virginia Woolf, her mother Vanessa Bell, and her father Duncan Grant, though for many years Angelica believed herself, naturally enough, the daughter of Vanessa's husband Clive. Her childhood homes, Charleston in Sussex and Gordon Square in London, were both centres of Bloomsbury activity, and she grew up surrounded by the most talked-about writers and artists of the day - Leonard and Virginia Woolf, Roger Fry, the Stracheys, Maynard Keynes, David Garnett (whom she later married), and many others. But Deceived with Kindness is also a record of a young girl's particular struggle to achieve independence from that extraordinary and intense milieu as a mature and independent woman. With an honesty that is by degrees agonising and uplifting, the author creates a vibrant, poignant picture of her mother, Vanessa Bell, of her own emergent individuality, and of the Bloomsbury...

She's hell-bent on revenge. He has the power to destroy all her plans.
Kim Johnson is on a mission to destroy the man who murdered her parents. When the killer discovers she's investigating him, Kim flees to a small cabin in north Idaho's woods. What she doesn't anticipate is the local sheriff, her hot new neighbor Zach Sullivan, showing up at her cabin in response to a 911 call. Already distrustful of cops, Kim feeds Zach lie after lie, refusing to tell him her real name or what she's up to--or why there's a dead man lying on her back porch. But Zach is determined to get the truth out of her.
Kim does her best to keep Zach at a distance, but she soon discovers there's one thing she can't lie about: her unexpected attraction to him. And when she finds herself falling for the one man who could ruin all her plans, she must decide what is more important: seeking revenge or protecting the people she loves.
