About the author
L.S. Hilton
7 books399 followersLisa's forthcoming history book, 'The Scandal of The Century' will be published by Michael Joseph in May 2024. A retelling of the life of England's first professional woman playwright, Aphra Behn, it reveals the true-life source of the first novel in English literature, based on the story of Lady Harriet Berkeley, whose elopement with her own brother-in-law Lord Grey resulted in one of the most sensational court cases of the seventeenth century.
As L.S Hilton, Lisa is currently releasing 'All My Lovers' Wives,' a wry, raw work of autofiction which is being developed for television by Universal Studios. Lisa authored the 'Maestra' Series (Bonnier Zaffre), consisting of three novels, 'Maestra' (2016), 'Domina' (2017) and 'Ultima' (2018). 'Maestra' was a number one Sunday Times Bestseller, a New York Times bestseller and a number one bestseller in 8 European territories. To date, it is on sale in 43 countries and over 1 million copies have been sold worldwide. 'Maestra' is in development for film with Sony Pictures.
Lisa has often taken inspiration from the lives of women who shaped the world, and has written seven other historical biographies around this theme, including 'Sex and the City of Ladies' (Harper Collins, 2020), which was commissioned by the Times Literary Supplement and casts a revisionist eye over the reputations of influential women throughout history whose deeds and dispositions have been distorted by centuries of misogyny.
Other works include 'Athenais: The Real Queen of France' (Little, Brown, 2002 – shortlisted for the Somerset Maugham Prize), 'Queens Consort' (Little, Brown, 2006), a composite biography of England's medieval queens, the authoritative 'Elizabeth, Renaissance Prince' (Orion, 2014) and 'The Horror of Love' (Orion, 2011) – an account of Nancy Mitford’s influential affair with Gaston Palewski.
Lisa's passion for history extends into historical fantasy with her novels 'Wolves in Winter' (Atlantic, 2012) and 'The Stolen Queen' (Atlantic, 2015). Her third historical novel 'The House with Blue Shutters' (Atlantic, 2010) was shortlisted for the Commonwealth Fiction Prize.
A regular art critic, Lisa has worked on projects for museums including the UK National Portrait Gallery and the Pinacoteca di Brera and is the author of 'The Death of Cleopatra' (Skira, 2017), which sheds light on the beauty and ambiguity of Guido Cagnacci’s portrayal of the legendary queen of Egypt.
On screen, Lisa has presented numerous historical series, including Charles I: Downfall (BBC4, 2019) and Charles I: Killing a King (BBC4, 2020), and served as presenter and script-writer for the BAFTA-nominated Elizabeth I’s Secret Agents (72 Films, 2017). She has appeared as a contributor and advisor on several series of Secrets of the Royal Palaces (Channel 5), Bloody Queens: Elizabeth and Mary (BBC2, 2016), as writer and presenter (in French) of the series Tendres Rivales (Arte, 2012), and as co-author and contributor on Versailles: Dream of a King (Brook Lapping, 2011).
Behind the camera, Lisa has written scripts and provided historical consultation on subjects as diverse as women Impressionist painters, vampires, Versailles, English Restoration monarchs to French Renaissance menus and culinary innovation.
Lisa was delighted to be awarded Glamour Magazine Writer of the Year in 2016, Porter Magazine Incredible Woman of the Year and Red Magazine Writer of the Year.
Lisa is fully tri-lingual and is regularly published in all three languages. In Italian, for Corriere della Sera, Vanity Fair and La Repubblica, in French for Elle, and in English, in features for the Sunday Times Style, the restaurant column for The Critic, and features for the Times, Times Magazine, and Times Literary Supplement.

Mucho bombo se le dio a esta novela para lo que es. Lo llegaron a comparar con la trilogía Millenium, what??? Así claro, la sorpresa que me llevé al leerlo fue de entrar en shock. Se acerca más a Calendar Girl, con eso lo digo todo.

Fácil y entretenida lectura

Toch moeite moeten doen om dit boek uit te lezen. Voor wie graag thrillers leest, het laatste deel van het boek is nog verrassend, maar dan toch met een wrang gevoel. Zelf heb ik mijn thrillers liever wat minder realiteitsgetrouw ... Voor wie graag de boeken '50 tinten' gelezen heeft, dit boek moet zeker niet onderdoen.

Voor mij iets te langdradig allemaal. Heel veel moeite moeten doen om het uit te lezen en dan een teleurstellend einde te hebben.

Bij het zien van de cover en de titel van Maestra van L. S. Hilton word je nieuwsgierig naar het verhaal. Je wilt weten waarom die scheur daar zit. Het is mooi dat alles in het boek terugkomt. Na het lezen van dit boek, eigenlijk al tijdens het lezen, krijgt de kleur rood toch een wat lugubere betekenins. Ook de scheur is heel erg goed gekozen.
Het verhaal begint wat soft. Het duurt even voor je er echt in zit, maar zo te verder je bent in het boek, des te moeilijker word het om het boek weg te leggen. Het gaat je zelfs in je achterhoofd bezig houden als je er niet in aan het lezen bent. Je wilt weten hoe het verhaal verder gaat, hoe het zal aflopen. Zou Judith echt met alles wegkomen? Hoe zal ze zich overal uit redden? Kan ze het wel allemaal alleen aan? Zal ze ooit betrapt en/of herkend worden? Weet ze de fraudezaak op te lossen? Wat is haar zoete wraak? Zal ze uiteindelijk het leven kunnen leiden zoals zij dat het liefste wilt? Je ziet Judith groeien van een persoon die alles doet voor iedereen naar iemand die niet meer over zich heen laat lopen.

A good read, good plot with an underground life running along side her daily life. Some of the plot became a bit complicated but easy enough to follow. Wasn't too keen on the explicit sex description using unsavoury language but if you're not a prude shouldn't be too shocking. Unusual story, would recommend it.

In Italia la promessa di qualche scena di sesso esplicito al femminile è sufficiente per far parlare del thriller erotico dell'anno e scatenare pruriti di ambo i sessi... Protagonista interessante per una storia che si fa leggere senza lasciare ricordi indelebili.
October 4, 2017
A disastrous plot, without substance. A cheap porno book with a spree of failed thriller. The character has nothing to do with Lisbeth Salander, she’s just a psychopath with no reasons to do so. Nothing palpable or real.
The only good thing about the book is the art related content.

Opinião: O livro Maestra tem mais de um ano de publicação em Portugal. E há mais de um ano que está parado na minha estante. Agora, devido à publicação de Domina, segundo livro desta autora, resolvi pegar nele e finalmente lê-lo.
Menos de vinte e quatro horas foi o necessário para que tal acontecesse. Devo referir que não li a contracapa. Isto é algo que faço com frequência, pois quero ir de mente aberta para os livros. Pelo que me recordava, e pela capa, achei que se trataria de um livro erótico. Nada contra, pois é um estilo de que gosto. Mas estava errada.
Maestra conta a história de Judith, uma jovem ambiciosa, que trabalha de dia numa leiloeira de arte e de noite num bar, para complementar os seus vencimentos. Até aí nada de especial. Acontece que quando é despedida da “Casa” de leilões resolve partir com um cliente do bar para a Riviera francesa. E isso muda toda a sua vida e a postura perante a mesma.
Judith não olha a meios para atingir os seus fins. Ela passa por cima de quem for, faz o que tiver de fazer, para poder sobreviver e viver como idealizou. Na verdade, e embora sendo a personagem principal do livro, acaba por ser odiada, ou pelo menos mal-amada pelos leitores.
No entanto as reviravoltas que ela dá à sua vida e à dos outros, a forma como consegue sempre sair das situações, mesmo as mais dramáticas, aparentemente sem uma beliscadura, tornam-na numa personagem bastante interessante no que respeita à construção. Não existe uma incoerência, ou algo que ponha em causa alguém que é tão fria e calculista. Acabamos por achar que ela é uma anti heroína, que vamos progressivamente deixando de gostar, para quase desejarmos que não consiga alcançar os seus objetivos.
Para além do acima citado, a jovem Judith acaba por ter uma desinibição a nível sexual que faz com que tenhamos descrições bastante realistas das suas aventuras, como se de um livro erótico se tratasse. No entanto, e na minha modesta opinião tal não é verdade. Quanto a mim, a autora apenas pretende demonstrar de uma forma cabal, e sem dar azo a equívocos, a desinibição e a perversão da personagem que se manifesta permanentemente na sua vida, incluindo no aspeto sexual.
Quanto à ação, são brilhantes as voltas e as reviravoltas. A escrita de L. S. Hilton é muito consistente e leva-nos por uma europa glamorosa, onde o dinheiro, as festas, o sexo e os negócios são fatores determinantes, condicionando os modos de vida. Para além disso quando pensamos que o destino das personagens está de alguma forma definido, a autora através da sua trama narrativa absolutamente cinematográfica, acaba por nos levar por outros caminhos onde nada é definitivo, nem mesmo o livro que, como sabemos, já tem um segundo volume.
Concluindo, Maestra é uma obra que junta erotismo com suspense e thriller. Um livro do qual queremos ler seguramente a continuação, mas que nos mostra de forma clara que esta mulher é mestre da sua vida, regente do seu destino, compositora do seu caminho. Só que esse caminho ainda não terminou.

Bit of a guilty pleasure this but thoroughly enjoyed... and a welcome relief from the more serious stuff I’ve been reading. I wasn’t sure what to expect: I’d read the reviews and the features that accompanied the book’s publication. But having once taught Lisa Hilton I was intrigued and knew I’d get round to it eventually. And having got round to it eventually I rather wish I’d done so sooner. It’s a ripping yarn: a sexy, psychological thriller a little in the manner of Killing Eve. The story romps along but there are some really lovely touches too, never overdone: a woman smiles or tries to, “wincing her Botox into a beam”; elsewhere, an old pervert’s “arse looked like a pair of cheap battery chickens”. A bathroom “looked like Oscar Wilde’s cigarette case” and a girl “started to cry, prettily, Swarovski tears dripping from alarmingly turquoise eyes.” Lines like that remind you amidst the sex and death and shopping trips, the luxury yachts and Parisian apartments, that Lisa Hilton is a ‘real’ writer, with academic history books (among others) to her credit. If the plot tends just a little at times to the fantastical, the overall effect remains entertainingly time-consuming and - having read this in a couple of days - I’m off in search of the sequel. That’s the advantage of delay, in reading. You get to binge on the equivalent of the box-set!

"Maestra" de L.H.Hilton, primul volum dintr-o trilogie cu accente thriller, m-a introdus în lumea fascinantă a artei, a dealerilor de artă, dar și în mintea și pielea personajului principal, cu un ușor comportament deviant legat de viața sa sexuală. Toată încrâncenarea protagonistei de a reuși într-un domeniu pe care-l iubește și pentru care s-a pregătit asiduu, într-o lume coruptă și dominată de câștiguri materiale rapide în detrimentul artei, se dovedește a fi inutilă, ceea ce o determină să acționeze în mod neașteptat, intrând într-un cerc vicios din care oricât de mult încearcă să iasă, aceasta nu reușește, întrucât trecutul o tot ajunge din urmă. M-a impresionat agerimea minții ei, modalitatea în care reușește de fiecare dată să scape de "piedicile" care i-ar încurca planurile, lupta ei pentru supraviețuire într-o adevărată junglă. Și toate acestea fiind alimentate de propriul ei dușman, furia. La finalul primului volum pare să se liniștească un pic, dar cred că mai are o cale lungă până la ceea ce și-a propus să facă, aceasta dorindu-și să aibă propria galerie de artă și să devină ea însăși un dealer recunoscut. Vom vedea dacă va reuși și prin ce mijloace. Un roman plin de intrigi, întorsături de situații, crime, spionaj, șantaj, sex în grup și pervers, în care nimic nu pare prea mult pentru a atinge un anumit scop.

La novela no está mal, en cuanto a que se lee bien y fácil, e incluso tiene partes que me han impactado, pero estas pierden mucho peso una vez expuestas porque es más de lo mismo durante el resto de la historia.
Sin embargo, lo que menos me ha gustado ha sido la trama. Típica chica incomprendida y subyugada a una injusticia perenne que decide tomar cartas en el asunto hasta que este le explota en la cara, aunque eso no sea más que una serendipia absurda, ya que, de pronto, entiende que posee dotes innatos para saberse manejar en un mundo tan hostil y desconocido. Todo es muy fácil en un ambiente tremendamente difícil, hasta el punto de tenerlo todo bajo control valiéndose solo de una cosa: el sexo. Y el cambio en los procedimientos que llevaba haciendo el narrador, a pesar de estar siempre escrita en primera persona, no acabaron de arreglarlo.
No es que me decepcionó, a priori, pues no sabía de su repercusión, pero tampoco me encantó, sobre todo por su resbaladiza trama.

Maestra este un roman al cărui protagonistă este o oportunistă ce nu se dă în lături de la nimic, ba chiar găseşte o plăcere macabră în ceea ce face. Un personaj dezinhibat, Judith acţionează mai întâi din impuls, un impuls ce mai apoi se transformă în tactică logică gândită în cele mai mici detalii.
L. S. Hilton m-a uimit cu un personaj complex ce are atribuţiile unui întreg clan mafiot, care se perindă nestingherit de la Londra la Paris, şi apoi pe întreg teritoriu italian. Un personaj în aparenţă fragil, un personaj capabil de acţiuni brutale şi sânge rece; o văduvă neagră în adevăratul sens al cuvântului.

Este titulo lo tope en un sale en mi libreria local, me llamo la atencion y no diria que es ubn mal libro, es disfrutable como poner alguna novela noventera de fondo mientas almuerzas... No es mala pero se centra tanto en detalles que se sienten irreales que no logra ser memorable. Tengo intencion de leer las siguientes partes? si, la trama y el setting me gustaron? si, es uno de los mejores titulos en mi biblioteca? no.... pero de que entreteniene, entretiene y si esta mejor presentada que un 50 sombras por ejemplo.
Si te gustan las novelas con algo de erotismo y una pequena dosis de accion sin mucho sentido para pasar el rato esta te va bien.

Κάποιοι το είχαν παρομοιάσει με το "50 αποχρώσεις του γκρί" και έτσι ήμουν καχύποπτη στην αρχή. Όμως σχεδόν αμέσως με έπεισε η πολύ έξυπνη γραφή της Χίλτον.
Το κείμενο ρέει γρήγορα, σαν σε αμερικάνικη ταινία. Η ηρωίδα μοιάζει 100% αληθινή, είναι δύστροπη αλλά αληθινή, αν και η ιστορία κάπου χάνει- υπερβολικά πολλές συμπτώσεις για να εξελιχθεί η πλοκή-.
Ένα πολύ μεγάλο ατού του βιβλίου είναι η ανάλυση αρκετών κλασικών έργων τέχνης με μια γρήγορη καθόλου βαρύγδουπη κριτική.
Η λέξη που το χαρακτηρίζει: Εθιστικό.

Me ha sorprendido gratamente el giro de la trama. Es justo el libro que buscaba, una mezcla entre pasajes eróticos y misterio. Sin embargo, la historia no me resultó atrapante hasta la mitad de la novela, puesto que no es hasta entonces, cuando todas las escenas empiezan a encajar como un puzzle cobrando sentido y puedes comprender las intenciones de la protagonista, que no ha dejado ni un instante de cautivar mi atención por su complejidad. Aún así, la recomiendo.

O carte interesanta, cu un personaj feminin ce fascineaza prin comportament si mod de gandire. O "maestra" ce isi urmareste "victima" cu pricepere, cu inteligenta si nu se da in laturi de la nimic pana nu obtine ce isi doreste. Mi-a placut dar nu a avut acel ceva care sa ma tina in priza de la inceput pana la sfarsit.

Erotische thriller die je meesleept van begin tot einde, met continue plotwendingen en verassende elementen. Tijdens het lezen reis je mee me de beaumonde naar het mooie Italië en Parijs. Intriges in de kunstwereld met een spatje bloed. Zalige literatuur en miljoen keer beter dan het overroepen vijftig tinten grijs.

Rather an enjoyable read. The plot was a little convoluted at times I felt, but I managed to keep up. There are some rather intense and quite graphic parts in the book which do come across as perhaps a little gratuitous but I don't think that's a bad thing. Perhaps this is what 50 shades could have been with a plot and better grammar. Quite looking forward to the next in the series now.

Style of book I have not come around before. “Criminal” storyline was quite ok. Main character was a sex addict, so some parts were weird, especially at the end. But most of the book was ok and such descriptions did not take too many pages in first 2/3rds. But there are better crime stories to read…

This book took a little longer to get into than I expected. About halfway through it caught my attention. It’s an interesting take on a fierce female character. Wouldn’t necessarily say it’s my favourite but I did enjoy the read

Un thriller impresionante. Es la primera de tres partes. Cómo una chica normal es capaz de cambiar y adaptarse a las situaciones más difíciles e increíbles para sobrevivir en mundo lleno de mentiras y dobles juegos.
