Vintage Lies

Product Description

Vintage Lies is a limited edition gift pack which consists of beautifully designed separate volumes of What Maisie Knew by Henry James & Ian Mc Ewan's million-copy selling bestseller Atonement. Vintage Lies is just one of ten Vintage Classic Twins to collect. Each twin consists of two books: a specially designed limited edition of one modern classic title & one established classic work. The books in each pair have been carefully selected to provide a thought-provoking combination. What Maisie Knew: Caught in the crossfire of her parents' acrimonious divorce, witness to their battles, intrigues & affairs, neglected & exploited, Maisie is a child who knows too much about the world of adults. James' portrait of a little girl who maintains her goodness & dignity in the face of the bitterness & profligacy of her warring parents is inspiring. Atonement: On the hottest day of the summer of 1934, thirteen-year-old Briony Tallis sees her sister Cecilia strip off her clothes & plunge into the fountain in the garden of their country house. Watching her is Robbie Turner, her childhood friend. By the end of that day, the lives of all three will have been changed for ever. Briony will have witnessed mysteries, & committed a crime for which she will spend the rest of her life trying to atone.
