Femme debout
Ségolène Royal, ou l'art de renaître. De la campagne présidentielle au congrès du PS, du triomphe de la primaire à l'échec de Reims, elle aura en deux ans côtoyé le sommet et frôlé les abîmes. À quoi tient un destin politique? À des rencontres. À une persévérance sans limite et à une confiance absolue dans son étoile. Mais aussi à l'adversité, aux échecs, aux trahisons. De tout cela, Ségolène Royal parle librement, sans fard, sans contourner le questionnement. Une radioscopie de pensées parfois contradictoires, parfois déconcertantes, mais toujours parfaitement assumées. Dans ces entretiens menés tout au long de l'année 2008, elle a accepté que je fixe la règle du jeu. À travers les mille détails de la vie, ces conversations portent sur les questions essentielles : Comment se reconstruire après l'échec? Comment réinventer la politique? Comment tenir son rôle, quel que soit ce rôle ? Une année dans la vie d'une femme française au destin si peu ordinaire. Toujours debout. Déjà dans le jour d'après. Déjà tournée vers 2012.
We need to talk about Ross
En anglais – Ross O’Carroll-Kelly is many things to many people. But ten years after he lifted the Leinster Schools Senior Cup, Ireland’s most beloved rogue remains one of its most misunderstood figures. His accomplishments on the rugby field – and in the bedroom – remain the stuff of legend, but the truth about him remains hidden by the accretion of myth. Now, for the first time, the lid is lifted on the enigma that is South Dublin’s most eligible married man. In more than a hundred interviews with his family and friends – those who’ve loved him, hated him and slept with him – the first ever composite portrait of the Celtic Tiger’s most famous cub emerges. From the mother who didn’t want him to the father who wanted him too much, from the friends who shared his misadventures to the women who shared his bed – or, failing that, a back alley or bus shelter – this searingly honest biography fills in all the blanks in the life of the self-styled Cock of Foxrock.
The bodies left behind
En anglais – When a night-time call to 911 from a secluded Wisconsin vacation house is cut short, offduty deputy Brynn McKenzie leaves her husband and son at the dinner table and drives up to Lake Mondac to investigate. Was it a misdial or an aborted crime report ? Brynn stumbles onto a scene of true horror and narrowly escapes from two professional criminals. She and a terrified visitor to the weekend house, Michelle, flee into the woods in a race for their lives. As different as night and day, and stripped of modern-day resources, Brynn, a tough deputy with a difficult past, and Michelle, a pampered city girl, must overcome their natural reluctance to trust each other and learn to use their wits and courage to survive the relentless pursuit. The deputy’s disappearance spurs both her troubled son and her new husband into action, while the incident sets in motion Brynn’s loyal fellow deputies and elements from Milwaukee’s underside. These various forces race along inexorably toward the novel’s gritty and stunning conclusion.
Diane Lanster
Une étrange maladie de peau qui lui livre bataille depuis qu’il est né, la polio qui le laisse infirme et claudiquant depuis l’enfance, et toutes les frustrations qui s’en suivent, Thierry n’a pas eu l’existence facile. Il a un don, cependant : le dessin. Mais quand il se retrouve élève dans un atelier, à dix-huit ans, un autre péril le menace : le cours est mixte. Diane, sa blondeur, sa beauté, ses jupes écossaises et ses attentions, voici une calamité nouvelle à quoi il n’est guère préparé … le plaisir doux-amer de l’amour mal partagé.
