'Deliciously dark and utterly addictive -- my favourite Ruth Ware yet' Lucy Foley Everyone wanted her life Someone wanted her dead It was Hannah who found April's body ten years ago. It was Hannah who didn't question what she saw that day. Did her testimony put an innocent man in prison? She needs to know the truth. Even if it means questioning her own friends. Even if it means putting her own life at risk. Because if the killer wasn't a stranger, it''s someone she knows... Praise for The It Girl: ''A cracking read – and that ending!'' Shari Lapena ''Every Ruth Ware novel is a unique and unexpected gem and this one is no exception. A heady, tense, slowburn dream of a book, multi-layered and steeped in atmosphere and peril. I loved every page'' Lisa Jewell 'Ruth Ware's richly-textured The It Girl is at once an engrossing murder mystery while also a perfectly crafted and haunting examination of lost youth and the compromises of adulthood, as a woman unpicks the past secrets of her university friends to finally lay to rest her murdered best friend, the dazzling April. Reminiscent of The Secret History, Ware has surpassed herself with this gripping, absorbing whodunnit. I loved it! All hail the Queen'' Sarah Pinborough 'If you ever idly wish that Agatha Christie would write a new book, Ruth Ware has got you covered. The It Girl has all the clues, twists and red herrings you could wish for, in a thoroughly modern setting. An impeccably constructed mystery from start to finish'' Jane Casey ''It's brilliant. Ruth is the master of the fiendishly twisty, yet completely believable, plot'' Elly Griffiths ''Just finished The It Girl by Ruth Ware and now my life is divided in two: before and after. Before: cool, calm, chilled. After: What? No! OMG! A wild ride that's deliciously twisting, with countless gasp-out-loud moments'' Janice Hallett ''A new Ruth Ware is always a treat and The It Girl is one of her best. You can almost see her smiling as she feeds you the little morsels that should help you work everything out - if only you were as clever as Ruth! As sleek and chilling as a knife between the ribs'' Sarah J. Naughton 'Clever. Compelling and with a terrific sense of place. Ruth Ware's The It Girl grips to the end' Jane Shemilt

Menant sa réflexion d'un point de vue historique, le journaliste de la BBC examine la façon dont la Chine s'est elle-même conçue et perçue au fil des siècles en mettant l'accent sur la période récente, depuis le XIXe siècle, durant lequel le pays a décliné. La souveraineté, l'ethnie Han, la nation, le langage et les prétentions maritimes sont notamment abordés. ©Electre 2023

It has been five years since humanity''s heady expansion among the stars came to an abrupt, and violent, halt. The emergence of the Hydrogues, an immensely powerful alien race dwelling within gas-giant planets, has placed the scattered colonies of the Terran Hanseatic League in jeopardy. With space travel heavily curtailed, and supplies of fuel dwindling, young King Peter and Chairman Basil Wenceslas, the harsh power behind the throne, have no choice but to impose strict rationing. But the Hydrogues are not the only enemies of humanity. The scheming Mage-Imperator, leader of the ancient Ildiran Empire, attempts to forge tangled alliances among all combatants in order to protect his failing civilization. The mysterious Klikiss robots, only remnants of an extinct race, continue to work their sinister plans while pretending to be friends and advisors to the Hanseatic League. And archaeologists Margaret and Louis Colicos -- whose discovery of an ancient alien weapon accidentally triggered the Hydrogue conflict -- have vanished on the abandoned world of Rheindic Co. Rlinda Kett and Davlin Lotze, sent to investigate the disappearance, soon realise that the Colicos'' discoveries may lead to an incredible new way to travel between worlds... or to the awakening of enemies even more fearsome than the Hydrogues. Something of inestimable power must have been required to destroy the Klikiss race. Will humanity be next?

Searching the stars with vast spaceships, humanity encounters the Ildiran empire. The Ilidrians come to Earth and pass on their knowledge, allowing humanity to expand to the stars. Almost 200 years later, a train of events is about to be set in motion that will change the universe.
