'Deftly plotted and superbly well researched, with an eerie relevance to the current debate surrounding the attitudes to and experiences of women in Westminster, Hollywood and beyond. An intelligent, absorbing page-turner that avoids all knee-jerk assumptions and easy answers' Laura Barnett, author of The Versions of Us The best courtroom drama since Apple Tree Yard sensational Clare MackintoshA high-profile marriage thrust into the spotlight. A wife, determined to keep her family safe, must face a prosecutor who believes justice has been a long time coming. A scandal that will rock Westminster. And the women caught at the heart of it. Anatomy of a Scandal centres on a high-profile marriage that begins to unravel when the husband is accused of a terrible crime. Sophie is sure her husband, James, is innocent and desperately hopes to protect her precious family from the lies which might ruin them. Kate is the barrister who will prosecute the case she is equally certain that James is guilty and determined he will pay for his crimes.A compelling and cautionary story about how we can never truly know someone else; how even after twelve years of marriage, a wife might not know everything about her husband.

Ahora, despues de su muerte, la cadena Eaden&rsquo euross busca a un nuevo representante de la marca a traves de un concurso de reposteria.Los cinco participantes que pasan a la final no podrian ser mas diferentesentre si, igual que lo son sus motivaciones para concursar. Tenemos a Jenny, que se enfrenta a su casa vacia ahora que sus hijas son mayores euros a Claire, que sacrifico sus sueños para criar a su hija euros a Mike, viudo y padre de dos niños euros a Vicki, que lo dejo todo para quedarse en casa con su hijo, y a Karen, que no esta dispuesta a mostrar ninguna fisura en su apariencia brillante.A medida que avanza la competicion, el nivel de exigencia aumenta y los concursantes deberan esmerarse cada vez mas y preparar ante las camaras todo tipo de deliciosas recetas, al tiempo que profundizan en la leyenda de Kathleen Eaden, cuya aura de perfeccion, descubren, tambien tenia sus imperfecciones.

There are many reasons to bake: to feed; to create; to impress; to nourish; to define ourselves; and, sometimes, it has to be said, to perfect. But often we bake to fill a hunger that would be better filled by a simple gesture from a dear one. We bake to love and be loved. In 1966, Kathleen Eaden, cookery writer and wife of a supermarket magnate, published The Art of Baking, her guide to nurturing a family by creating the most exquisite pastries, biscuits and cakes. Now, five amateur bakers are competing to become the New Mrs Eaden. There's Jenny, facing an empty nest now her family has flown; Claire, who has sacrificed her dreams for her daughter; Mike, trying to parent his two kids after his wife's death; Vicki, who has dropped everything to be at home with her baby boy; and Karen, perfect Karen, who knows what it's like to have nothing and is determined her facade shouldn't slip. As unlikely alliances are forged and secrets rise to the surface, making the choicest choux bun seems the least of the contestants' problems. For they will learn - as Mrs Eaden did before them - that while perfection is possible in the kitchen, it's very much harder in life.
