La saga des Cazalet/03/Confusion
Mars 1942. Polly et Clary ont dix-sept ans et n'aspirent qu'à une chose : échapper à l'étau familial. Depuis la disparition de leurs parents, elles se heurtent au silence borné du clan Cazalet qui refuse d'évoquer les sujets graves. A quel modèle les deux jeunes filles peuvent-elles bien s'identifier désormais ? Leur cousine Louise abandonne sa carrière d'actrice pour devenir mère. Leur tante Rachel est si dévouée à ses parents qu'elle en oublie sa propre vie. Et pendant que Zoë s'éprend d'un Américain, les infidélités d'Oncle Edward menacent de tout faire voler en éclats. Malgré les sirènes et les bombardements, Londres semble toujours plus attirante que Home Place, où règnent un froid glacial et une atmosphère de plomb... Après Etés anglais et A rude épreuve, la saga des Cazalet se poursuit avec Confusion.En stockCOMMANDER10,50 € -
