Sous la canicule qui frappe l'Angleterre en ce mois d'août 1935, la jeune Briony a trouvé sa vocation : elle sera romancière. Du haut de ses treize ans, elle voit dans le roman un moyen de déchiffrer le monde. Mais lorsqu'elle surprend sa grande s'ur Cecilia avec Robbie, fils de domestique, sa réaction naïve aux désirs des adultes va provoquer une tragédie. Trois vies basculent et divergent, pour se recroiser cinq ans plus tard, dans le chaos de la guerre, entre la déroute de Dunkerque et les prémices du Blitz. Mais est-il encore temps d'expier un crime d'enfance ? Un roman dans la grande tradition romanesque, où Ian McEwan, tout en s'interrogeant sur les pouvoirs et les limites de la fiction, restitue, avec une égale maîtrise, les frémissements d'une conscience et les rapports de classes, la splendeur indifférente de la nature et les tourments d'une Histoire aveugle aux individus.
There's no such thing as the perfect murder ? This is the question sports agent Myron Bolitar asks himself when two FBI agents come looking for his former client and rival, Greg Downing. Greg's DNA has been found at the scene of a recent high-profile double murder, and he is now the FBI's main suspect. But that's impossible. Greg died three years ago. Myron went to his funeral and gave the eulogy. But why would someone frame a dead man for murder ? Or is Greg Downing still alive ? The more Myron digs into this mystery, the more dangerous his world becomes...
Résumé : A lawyer's advice to his children as he defends the real mockingbird of Harper Lee's classic novel - a black man charged with the rape of a white girl. Through the young eyes of Scout and Jem Finch, Harper Lee explores with exuberant humour the irrationality of adult attitudes to race and class in the Deep South of the 1930s. The conscience of a town steeped in prejudice, violence and hypocrisy is pricked by the stamina of one man's struggle for justice. But the weight of history will only tolerate so much.
