Queenie
Pour Queenie, jeune Londonienne d'origine jamaïcaine, la vie n'est pas rose. Entre chagrin d'amour, pépins de santé, soucis au bureau, elle perd le goût de la vie. Et ses rencontres d'un soir catastrophiques ne lui remontent en rien le moral. Malgré sa ténacité, son humour sans pareil et la fidélité de ses amies, Queenie se voit peu à peu perdre pied. Pour ne pas sombrer, elle va devoir relever la tête, se battre et affronter ses démons, en prouvant au monde que sa vie de femme noire compte tout autant que les autres. Entre humour décalé et plume très vivante, Queenie est un premier roman aussi détonant que profond, honnête et bouleversant. Sans doute ce que vous lirez de plus incisif et drôlement féroce sur l'expérience d'avoir 25 ans à Londres aujourd'hui. Nécessaire et irrésistible. Le Monde des livres. British Book Award du meilleur premier roman | British Book Award du meilleur livre de l'année. Traduit de l'anglais (Royaume-Uni) par Christine Barbaste.Sur commande en 2-4 joursCOMMANDER9,75 € -

Endurance: Shackleton's Incredible Voyage (VO)
Discover the truth about ENDURANCE in this superb true story of adventure, shipwreck, storms and survival on the high seas.'Superb ... the greatest survival story of all time' Sir Chris Bonington'One of the most remarkable tales of human courage and determination. The story is gripping and the book is a classic' Sir Ranulph FiennesENDURANCE is the story of one of the most astonishing feats of exploration and human courage ever recorded. In 1914 Sir Ernest Shackleton and a crew of 27 men set sail for the South Atlantic on board a ship called the Endurance. The object of the expedition was to cross the Antarctic overland. In October 1915, still half a continent away from their intended base, the ship was trapped, then crushed in ice. For five months Shackleton and his men, drifting on ice packs, were castaways on one of the most savage regions of the world. This utterly gripping book, based on first-hand accounts of crew members and interviews with survivors, describes how the men survived, how they lived together in camps on the ice for 17 months until they reached land, how they were attacked by sea leopards, the diseases which they developed, and the indefatigability of the men and their lasting civility towards one another in the most adverse conditions conceivable.Sur commande en 6-10 joursCOMMANDER14,00 € -
A most agreeable murder (VO)
'If you grew up reading Jane Austen and Agatha Christie (or are a fan of the more recent Bridgerton and Knives Out), you will adore A Most Agreeable Murder" Kate Stayman-London, bestselling author of One to Watch 'A delightfully entertaining debut! Be prepared to laugh out loud at the comedy, gasp at the murder mystery, and altogether have a thoroughly great time!' India Holton, author of The Wisteria Society of Lady Scoundrels Beatrice Steele has none of the accomplishments of a true lady: she is terrible at needlework, has no musical ability, and her artwork is so bad it frightens people. Little does anyone know that Beatrice also harbours a dark secret: an obsession with the true crime cases she reads about in the newspaper. For her family's sake, she's vowed to put this most unladylike obsession behind her. Eligible bachelor Edmund Croaksworth is set to attend the autumnal ball, and the Steele family hopes that her eldest sister Louisa will steal his heart. Their future depends on this match! Beatrice needs be on her best behaviour... though that's made more difficult when a disgraced yet strangely alluring detective inexplicably shows up to the ball. Just as Beatrice thinks she's gotten away with it, Croaksworth drops dead in the middle of a minuet. As a storm rages outside, the evening descends into a frenzy as it becomes clear they are trapped with a killer. But maybe, just maybe, it's Beatrice's time to shine...Sur commande en 6-10 joursCOMMANDER14,00 €
