《名誉》讲述的是艾玛的故事,她是一个富有同情心、充满激情的女人----她想要为世界带来积极的改变,但自从进入公众视野后,她变得非常脆弱。
艾玛做出了牺牲,把十几岁的女儿弗洛拉留在离威斯敏斯特几百英里远的家里,与父亲在一起,以便作为一名议员为她的国家服务。在这一过程中,艾玛对自己的婚姻施加了压力,并为她的前朋友卡罗琳留下了一个空间,让她作为新妻子、继母和家庭主妇融入家庭。
作为一位前教师,当艾玛意识到她在议会中的角色也会让她在报纸副刊的头版上用红色唇膏拍摄,使她遭受无数侮辱、强奸威胁成为无稽之谈的受害者时,她感到惊讶。作为一名女性,她习惯于认为自己的名誉像金子一样珍贵:毕竟,她一生都被视为女性、母亲、妻子和教师。但现在她明白了名誉的丧失可能会毁掉她。
艾玛14岁的女儿弗洛拉在学校里也在学习同样的艰苦课程。曾经是她最好朋友的女孩现在成了她的敌人----弗洛拉成了霸凌的受害者。但弗洛拉只能承受这么多。像许多母亲一样,艾玛可以看出弗洛拉并不好,但在灾难来临之前,她努力帮助她。
当一个名叫艾米的年轻女孩失去了生命,而艾玛则参与了一项旨在保护任何人不再遭受同样命运的新法律的宣传活动时,艾玛和弗洛拉的私生活受到了关注。然后不可思议的事情发生了:一个男人被发现死在艾玛的家里。她完全有理由害怕他,并想让他走。最终,艾玛因谋杀罪受审。
萨拉为这部小说进行了她一贯异常仔细的研究,参加了卢顿刑事法院为期两周的谋杀案审判,由她在撰写《ANATOMY OF A SCANDAL》时跟踪的追踪埃洛伊•马歇尔(Eloise Marshall)起诉。在这起案件中,被告辩称自己刺杀一名拒绝离开家的入侵者是正当的,因此被无罪释放。她还与负责此案的侦探和她的警察程序顾问进行了详细交谈。她还采访了现任和前任议员,询问他们所经历的极端虐待,他们必须采取的哪些安全措施来应对这种情况,以及这种情况对心理的影响。

Hot off the heels of the trade announcement, I am delighted to be sending you Sarah Vaughan’s brilliant new novel, REPUTATION. The story of Emma, an empathetic and impassioned female MP who is trying to navigate the toxic world of modern politics and social media abuse, all while trying to protect her young teenage daughter amid a bullying scandal. It is, at it’s heart, a book about the emotional and societal costs of being a successful women. Yet beyond being an intimate and emotional study of a powerful but real woman, it is a pacy and tight thriller; I found my heart racing as I read, speeding through the novel as I hoped that everything would be alright for Emma but afraid that it might not be. It is, in a word, exceptional.
The energy for Sarah’s books at the moment is electric, not least because her internationally bestselling novel Anatomy of a Scandal is currently being adapted as a TV series on Netflix by “Big Little Lies” creator David E. Kelley and Melissa James Gibson, who was a showrunner on “House of Cards,” for Netflix. Starring Siena Miller and Rupert Friend, we’re still waiting for confirmation of a release date, but there’s a landing page for it already on the Netflix website. We can’t wait for Sarah’s stories to meet even more fans.
The bestselling author of Anatomy of a Scandal, soon to be a major Netflix series, returns with a new psychological thriller about a politician whose less-than-perfect personal life is thrust into the spotlight when a body is discovered in her home.
Reputation: it takes a lifetime to build and just one moment to destroy.
Emma Webster is a respectable MP. Emma Webster is a devoted mother. Emma Webster is innocent of the murder of a tabloid journalist. Emma Webster is a liar.
#Reputation: The story you tell about yourself. And the lies others choose to believe…
REPUTATION will publish in March 2022 by Simon & Schuster in the UK and in July 2022 by Simon & Schuster in the US. We’re pleased to share the final files for your consideration here and find the disturbingly brilliant trailer for the book here.
