Critiques
Casting off (volume 4 of the Cazalet chronicle) par Elizabeth Jane Howard
Quelconque, donné
Après la mort de Julius, son mari, elle s'est remariée, mais sans jamais pouvoir l'oublier. Ses enfants sont grands, ils viennent la voir dans sa campagne anglaise. Eux aussi souffrent encore de la disparition de leur père. Pourquoi ne voit-on pas le maléfice qui grandit, parce qu'on est des gens comme les autres qui ne peuvent pas croire que quelque chose de très dangereux est en train de couver, tout près?
Ah, enfin un Jane Howard traduit en français . Le problème: je ne sais absolument pas auquel de ses livres anglais il correspond, donc, je n'en pense rien! (Chez Rivages)
Une auteure anglaise de province, très peu connue, qui a pourtant fait des romans très fins sur des familles et leurs sentiments et rapports complexes.
