Overlooked by critics on its initial release in 2006, this erotically charged mystery has nonetheless continued to develop such a following among booksellers that Melville House has decided to re-release it in a stunning new package.

As for the story that's earning such loyalty: it's a whip-smart conversation between Stella, a vivacious, aspiring writer and Bohemian eco-activist, and Edward Prain, a refined connoisseur of the rare books on hand in Stella's fusty London bookstall.

While Prain is mysteriously aloof about his background, Stella finds hi! s insights into art more and more stimulating, until one rainy afternoon she makes a surprising discovery: Prain is the head of England's most prestigious publishing house and a leading collector of art. And now, he would like her to come to tea at his country estate . . . to discuss her writing.

Stella is too intrigued to say no. Yet their cat-and-mouse game only intensifies at his sumptuous estate, where she finds herself engaged in an increasingly devilish conversation on the making of art, the selling of art, and the protection of self until Prain reveals that he knows more about her past than he has ever let on. . . .What happens When Ladies Meet? If the ladies are Best Actress Academy Award(r) winners* Joan Crawford and Greer Garson, expect classic entertainment. Glamorously gowned, exquisitely coiffed, the two screen legends share a heart-to-heart on sex, men, fidelity and wedlock in a sophisticated comedy/drama set among the well-to-do and the done-to. Craw! ford plays Mary, a novelist whose latest work extols the virtu! es of ex tramarital amour. Her inspiration may be personal: she's having a fling with her married publisher. Then Mary meets and instantly bonds with charming Clare (Garson), who's married to a publisher. Yes, that publisher. And suddenly a mad passion with another woman's husband doesn't seem quite so virtuous.

Imagine the love child of Stevie Ray Vaughan and Dusty Springfield, and you begin to get a feel for Joanne Shaw Taylor's mix of fiery guitar playing, sultry vocals, and 100% pure soul!

She has toured and played guitar with supergroup D.U.P., which includes Dave Stewart (The Eurythmics), Candy Dulfer (Prince), and Jimmy Cliff.

"She plays with more attitude and fl are than most. Massive potential here. Inspiring." -- GuitaristMade two years after Citizen Kane, this 1943 version of Charlotte Bront! ë's Jane Eyre sure looks like star Orson Welles muscled his way behind the camera much of the time. (In fact, costar Joan Fontaine--who plays the title character--has maintained that Welles methodically did just that every day on the set.) Not that the film's official director was a hack: Robert Stevenson, who later had a busy career at Disney making numerous live-action hits for the studio, such as Mary Poppins, gets the credit. But there's no mistaking Welles's masterful hand in the film's bold and creative look, and there's no getting away from his enigmatic charisma as Rochester, the widower who takes in Jane as a governess to his daughter. An engrossing, gorgeous film, there's even a small role for Elizabeth Taylor at the beginning as Jane's unlucky, doomed friend at a cruel boarding school. --Tom KeoghOverlooked by critics on its initial release in 2006, this erotically charged mystery has nonetheless continued to develop such a following amon! g booksellers that Melville House has decided to re-release it! in a st unning new package.
