William Coles

    Tento autor se proslavil svými milostnými romány, které často sledují novináře Kima při rekapitulaci jeho minulých vztahů. Každý příběh je protkán hořkosladkou nostalgií, protože lásky se obvykle nevyvíjejí podle představ. Autorův styl se vyznačuje pronikavým pohledem na složitost lidských vztahů a často využívá ironii k prozkoumání nevyhnutelných zklamání, která jsou s láskou spojena. Jeho rozsáhlé zkušenosti v žurnalistice podtrhují jeho schopnost vykreslit přesvědčivé postavy a napínavé zápletky.

      Eton Rogue is a hilarious and shocking story of scandal and rebellion - all set in the heart of the world's most famous school, Eton College. Meet our Eton Rogue: Seventeen-year-old Cary, now embarking on his extraordinary final year at Eton. Prince William has joined the school and the British tabloids are ravenous for headlines. Cary is the mole who's making thousands selling stories to the Sun newspaper - and while he's at it, he's secretly dating a housemaster's daughter. Based on true events, the rule of Eton Rogue is simple: The more outrageous the tale, the greater the chances that it actually occurred.

      "Seventeen-year-old schoolboy Kim is an idle drifter at one of Britain's most extraordinary institutions, Eton College - crammed with over a thousand boys and not a girl in sight. His head is full of the Falklands War and a possible army career, until the day he hears his new piano teacher, the beautiful but pained India, playing Bach's Well-Tempered Clavier. Kim's life is destined never to be the same again. An intensely passionate affair develops and he wallows in the wild and unaccustomed thrill of first love. Twenty-five years on, Kim recalls that heady summer and how their fledgling relationship was so brutally snuffed out - finished off by his enemies, by the constraints of Eton, and by his own withering jealousy. A bittersweet story of a life-changing love."--Publisher description

      The Eton Affair
    • 'A plump and cheerful romp through royal corridors and bedrooms' Tunku Varadarajan, The Wall Street Journal Kim is not your average member of Her Majesty's palace staff - but then he shouldn't be on the staff at all. He's in fact a Sun staff reporter who's wormed his way into Buckingham Palace to pick up every bit of dirt and gossip that he can lay his hands on. Along the way, Kim is faced with many surprising aspects of Palace life that even he didn't see coming. Based on the true story of the tabloid hack who became a Queen's footman, Palace Rogue is a charming, uplifting and utterly outrageous story of love and secrets - all of it set in the heart of one of the world's most famous houses.
