1918. Trois jours à Dublin, ravagé par la guerre et une terrible épidémie. Trois jours aux côtés de Julia Power, infirmière dans un service réservé aux femmes enceintes touchées par la maladie. Partout, la confusion règne, et le gouvernement semble impuissant à protéger sa population. À l'aube de ses 30 ans, alors qu'à l'hôpital on manque de tout, Julia se retrouve seule pour gérer ses patientes en quarantaine. Elle ne dispose que de l'aide d'une jeune orpheline bénévole, Bridie Sweeney, et des rares mais précieux conseils du Dr Kathleen Lynn - membre du Sinn Féin recherchée par la police. Dans une salle exiguë où les âmes comme les corps sont mis à nu, toutes les trois s'acharnent dans leur défi à la mort, tandis que leurs patientes tentent de conserver les forces nécessaires pour donner la vie. Un huis clos dont Julia sortira transformée, ébranlée dans ses certitudes et ses repères.

Ce livre fait partie de la sélection littérature étrangère du Grand Prix des Lecteurs Pocket 2023.

Sur le point de fêter ses cinq ans, Jack a les préoccupations des enfants de son âge. Ou presque. Il ne pense qu'à jouer et à essayer de comprendre le monde qui l'entoure, comptant sur sa mère pour répondre à ses questions. Celle-ci occupe dans sa vie une place immense, d'autant plus qu'il vit seul avec elle dans la même pièce, depuis sa naissance. Il y a bien les visites du Grand Méchant Nick, mais la mère fait tout pour éviter à Jack le moindre contact avec lui. Jusqu'au jour où elle comprend qu'elle ne peut pas continuer à entretenir l'illusion d'une vie ordinaire. Elle va alors tout risquer pour permettre à Jack de s'enfuir.Room, c'est un sinistre fait divers revisité par Gulliver et par Alice, mais c'est aussi une histoire de survie qui célèbre l'indéfectible pouvoir de l'amour maternel. André Clavel, L'Express.Un roman d'une douceur renversante. Emily Barnett, Les Inrockuptibles.

Jack is five. He lives with his Ma. They live in a single, locked room. They don''t have the key. Jack and Ma are prisoners. '' Room is a book to read in one sitting. When it''s over you look up: the world looks the same but you are somehow different and that feeling lingers for days'' Audrey Niffenegger ''One of the most profoundly affecting books I''ve read in a long time'' John Boyne ''Such incredible imagination, and dazzling use of language . . . Room is unlike anything I''ve ever read before'' Anita Shreve '' Room is that rarest of entities, an entirely original work of art. I mean it as the highest possible praise when I tell you that I can''t compare it to any other book. Suffice to say that it''s potent, darkly beautiful, and revelatory'' Michael Cunningham

Le départ, la route, l'arrivée : les trois parties de ce recueil de nouvelles marquent les étapes du voyage, de l'errance, de l'exil. Par-delà les époques, l'auteur nous entraîne du Massachusets puritain au New Jersey révolutionnaire, passant par la Louisiane belliqueuse, jusqu'aux bas-fonds sordides de Toronto. Immigrés à la recherche d'une vie meilleure, orphelins transférés, esclaves en quête de liberté, voleurs de grands chemins..., tous sont en mouvement, que ce soit pour partir, arriver, ou découvrir de nouveaux lieux, loin de leurs identités familiale et nationale. Mais dans ces « fictions historiques » (l'auteur a effectué un véritable travail d'historienne), tout n'est pas dramatique, et l'errance peut mener aussi à la découverte de soi.

Emma Donoghue imagine les vies qui se cachent entre les lignes des livres d'histoire, les sentiments derrière les dates, les gens derrière les chiffres. Libération.

The Sealed Letter

Emma Donoghue

- 15 Février 2012
- 9781447212591
From the bestselling author of ROOM comes a delicious tale of secrets, betrayal and forbidden love.

After a separation of many years, Emily 'Fido' Faithfull bumps into her old friend Helen Codrington on the streets of Victorian London. Much has changed: Helen is more and more unhappy in her marriage to the older Vice-Admiral Codrington, while Fido has become a successful woman of business and a pioneer in the British Women's Movement. But, for all her independence of mind, Fido is too trusting of her once-dear companion and finds herself drawn into aiding Helen's obsessive affair with a young army officer.

When the Vice-Admiral seizes the children and sues for divorce, the women's friendship unravels amid accusations of adultery and counter-accusations of cruelty and attempted rape, as well as a mysterious 'sealed letter' that could destroy more than one life . . .

Based on blow-by-blow newspaper reports of the 1864 Codrington Divorce, The Sealed Letter, full of sparkling characters and wicked dialogue, is a thought-provoking mystery and gripping drama of friends, lovers and marriage.
