Claire Southwood is a debut author, born and educated in Switzerland, who left corporate life in 2016 to begin a new experience in the UK, where she currently lives with her husband and her furry, four-legged friend. Claire loves delving into anything that stimulates the soul; whether that is through nature, art, philosophy or exploration, it all provides her with a great source of inspiration. Meanwhile, her lifelong appreciation of stories has given birth to a great desire to write, prompting Claire to transform soul-inspired knowledge into fictionalised, real-life stories. This concept cannot help but bring about questions of our own past and the part it has played in shaping our lives. Thus, Claire has produced a literary work which gives us all cause to wonder who we are and who we've been - for what greater mystery is there than life itself?

Klappentext

Stretching across more than four centuries, two grappling sisters continue their family feud; one resentful, the other selfishly dark. The connections between past and present are endless and appear almost surreal, but once Amanda Sanders -the resentful one - accepts the origins of their dispute, things start to shift her way. Before she can make peace, however, she has to look back at Mary Boleyn's life from the Tudor era, where our story begins. Discover the hidden truths behind the obscure, historical figure of Mary Boleyn, and follow her life experiences as she spends her time in exile, abandoned by her sister who'd wrapped King Henry VIII around her wicked finger. Then move on to the present day and find yourself astounded by the many connections that bridge past and present. Are these mere reflections, or is history picking up where it had left off? With past and present laid out alongside each other, The Double Act gives off a real sense of déjà vu, with a royally intriguing family drama right at its heart.
