From the New York Times bestselling author of Becoming Queen Victoria, a new history of Mary, Queen of Scots and Elizabeth I that reveals how the most important relationship of their life—their friendship—changed them forever. Elizabeth and Mary were cousins and queens, but eventually it became impossible for them to live together in the same world. This is the story of two women struggling for supremacy in a man’s world, when no one thought a woman could govern. They both had to negotiate with men—those who wanted their power and those who wanted their bodies—who were determined to best them. In their worlds, female friendship and alliances were unheard of, but for many years theirs was the only friendship that endured. They were as fascinated by each other as lovers; until they became enemies. Enemies so angry and broken that one of them had to die, and so Elizabeth ordered the execution of Mary. But first they were each other’s lone female friends in a violent man’s world. Their relationship was one of love, affection, jealousy, antipathy—and finally death. This book tells the story of Mary and Elizabeth as never before, focusing on their emotions and probing deeply into their intimate lives as women and queens. They loved each other, they hated each other—and in the end they could never escape each other.

In the same way as other enhancements, berberine is gotten from plants. "Berberine is a kind of substance compound called an alkaloid that is tracked down in the roots, leaves, stems, and barks of plants, like barberry, Oregon grape, and tree turmeric," says Vicki Shanta Retelny, RDN, the Chicago-based creator of The Fundamental Manual for Sound Mending Food varieties. Enrolled dietitians ordinarily recommend "eating your nutrients" as food (particularly products of the soil), yet that is precarious to do with berberine, and not as a result of the yellow compound''s unpleasant taste. "Berberine can be consumed through these plants, however they are unprecedented in the US," says Davis. "Berberine is considerably more open through a supplemental structure."

Joséphine beschrijft de onvoorstelbare opkomst en nog ongelooflijker ondergang van een vrouw wier energie en ambitie in haar tijd slechts werden overschaduwd door die van haar man, Napoleon Bonaparte. Joséphine de Beauharnais (1763-1814) was een jonge weduwe die tijdens de Franse Terreur wist te ontsnappen aan de guillotine, en een van de beroemdste societyvrouwen van Frankrijk werd. Tot veler verbazing ging zij in op de avances van een kleine, zes jaar jongere, onbekende militair uit Corsica. Voor hem was zij de ideale opstap naar een grootse carrière; met haar aan zijn zijde werd hij de machtigste man van Europa, keizer van Frankrijk. Maar hun geluk zou niet lang duren. Het lukte het beroemdste echtpaar van hun tijd niet om een zoon en erfgenaam voort te brengen, zodat de keizer besloot Joséphine te verlaten. Joséphine is een intrigerende en meeslepende biografie over de grote liefde van de kleine generaal - een vrouw die nog steeds tot de verbeelding spreekt. Historica Kate Williams (1974) studeerde in Oxford en Londen, en verschijnt regelmatig op bbc en Channel 4. Ze publiceerde onder meer boeken over de jonge prinses Victoria, de wording van koningin Elizabeth ii, en Emma Hamilton, de minnares van Nelson. `In een kleine vierhonderd paginas schetst ze een beeld van een ambitieuze, gewiekste, spilzieke, niet erg betrouwbare levensgenietster. NRC Handelsblad `Een schitterende biografie. de Volkskrant ***** `Zonder ook maar een langdradige alinea weet ze op minutieuze wijze het verhaal te vertellen van de slavernij op Martinique, de Franse Revolutie en de Parijse beau monde. Het knappe is dat ze Napoleons opkomst, succes en zijn neergang beschrijft als decor van het verhaal over de keizerin. Historisch Nieuwsblad

Londra, 1840. Catherine Sorgeiul, una ragazza di diciannove anni, fragile e con un passato familiare misterioso, vive in totale isolamento e solitudine con uno zio eccentrico nel quartiere popolare e degradato di Spitalfields. Quando una serie di orribili delitti di giovani donne travolge l''East End, a due passi da casa sua, Catherine inizia a interessarsi in modo morboso a questa tragica vicenda.

Spitalfields, Londen, 1840. Catherine Sorgeiul woont in een vervallen huis in de East End. Ze heeft weinig vrienden en weinig om de dagen door te komen, behalve haar eigen rijke fantasie. Maar dan vindt er een moord plaats. En nog een. De moordenaar heeft het voorzien op vrouwen en stopt als een soort merkteken haar in hun mond en vouwt hun armen en benen onder hen zodat het eruitziet als geknakte vleugels. Terwijl Catherine nieuwsgierig het nieuws over de moorden volgt, beseft ze langzamerhand dat geheimen uit haar eigen verleden verband houden met deze moorden en dat ze leeft in een wereld waarin niets is wat het lijkt, een wereld van seksuele obsessies, verraad en moord, en van een waarheid die beangstigender is dan iemand zich kan voorstellen. Kate Williams studeerde in Londen en Oxford. Haar boek over koningin Victoria werd door The Spectator gekozen tot boek van het jaar.

Are you facing a situation that looks impossible? Many biblical characters faced huge obstacles too, until God brought a ''but'' into the situation that changed their circumstances in a powerful way. When God ''buts'' in he isn''t meddling or interfering, he is divinely intervening in the situation.
