La saga des Cazalet/03/Confusion
Mars 1942. Polly et Clary, les deux cousines encore enfants dans Etés anglais et qui, adolescentes, avaient la part belle dans A rude épreuve, ont aujourd'hui dix-sept ans et n'aspirent qu'à une chose : échapper à l'étau familial en quittant Home Place pour Londres. Polly est encore sous le choc du décès de sa mère, Sybil, qui a succombé au cancer qui la rongeait. Clary, dont le père Rupert n'a plus donné signe de vie depuis le mot apporté par un soldat français, est sur le point de perdre espoir. Au chagrin des deux héroïnes s'ajoute la frustration face au silence borné du clan Cazalet : les adultes se refusent à parler des choses graves, et continuent de les considérer comme des enfants. A quel modèle les deux jeunes filles peuvent-elles bien s'identier ? Leur cousine Louise abandonne sa carrière d'actrice pour devenir mère de famille. Leur tante Rachel est à ce point dévouée à ses parents qu'elle laisse s'éloigner sa précieuse amie Sid. Et pendant que Zoë, la belle-mère de Clary, s'éprend d'un Américain, les in délités d'Oncle Edward à l'égard de Tante Villy menacent de tout faire voler en éclats. Malgré les sirènes et les bombardements, Londres est toujours plus attirante que Home Place, où règnent un froid glacial et une atmosphère de plomb.EpuiséVOIR PRODUIT23,00 € -
La saga des Cazalet/02/À rude épreuve
Septembre 1939. La famille Cazalet, réunie à Home Place, apprend l'entrée en guerre de l'Angleterre à la suite de l'invasion de la Pologne. On ferme les demeures londoniennes les unes après les autres pour se mettre à l'abri dans le Sussex, où les préoccupations de chacun - parent, enfant ou domestique - sont régulièrement interrompues par les raids allemands. Polly, dont les parents s'enfoncent dans un insupportable mutisme, se tourne vers les discours pacifistes de Christopher et l'oreille attentive de Miss Milliment. Clary, sa meilleure amie, renseigne chaque parcelle de sa vie dans des carnets et élabore mille scénarios pour expliquer le silence de son père Rupert, porté disparu sur les côtes françaises. Serait-il devenu espion aux côtés du général de Gaulle ? Zoë, sa femme, vient de donner naissance à Juliet, qui ne connaîtra peut-être jamais son père. Fascinées, les deux adolescentes observent aussi leur cousine Louise : à dix-huit ans, alors qu'elle fait ses débuts dans un sinistre théâtre de province, elle fume et porte des pantalons, au grand dam de sa famille. Deuxième tome de la saga des Cazalet, A rude épreuve reprend le fil de l'existence de personnages dont Elizabeth Jane Howard continue d'explorer les secrets les plus enfouis, alors que l'Angleterre subit de plein fouet le conflit mondial tant redouté.Sur commande en 2-4 joursCOMMANDER24,00 €
