About this listen
Agathe et Emma Delorme sont sœurs. Elles ont grandi l’une contre l’autre, mais sont pourtant très différentes. Depuis le jour de sa naissance, Agathe, la plus jeune, bordélique et ardente, prend toute la place dans le bain, dans la chambre et dans le cœur d’Emma.
Après cinq ans d’un silence inexpliqué, Emma donne rendez-vous à Agathe dans la maison de vacances : Mima, leur grand-mère adorée, n’est plus, il faut vider les lieux et faire le tri dans les souvenirs. Les sœurs Delorme ont une semaine pour tout se dire et rattraper le manque de l’autre, avant l’arrivée des nouveaux propriétaires. Parviendront-elles à réparer le passé ?
Dans la beauté de cet été au pays basque, où leur enfance cogne à la porte, résonne la force de leurs éclats de rire. Se moquer du temps qui passe dans les bras de ceux qu’on aime, et si c’était ça, une belle vie ?
Deux comédiennes pleines de talent incarnent les sœurs Delorme, héroïnes irrésistibles de ce roman bouleversant.

Au grand jeu du destin, Mimo a tiré les mauvaises cartes. Né pauvre, il est confié en apprentissage à un sculpteur de pierre sans envergure. Mais il a du génie entre les mains. Toutes les fées ou presque se sont penchées sur Viola Orsini. Héritière d'une famille prestigieuse, elle a passé son enfance à l'ombre d'un palais génois. Mais elle a trop d'ambition pour se résigner à la place qu'on lui assigne.

"Je ne t'aime plus." Il aura suffi de cinq mots pour que l'univers de Pauline bascule. Installée avec son fils de quatre ans chez ses parents, elle laisse les jours s'écouler en attendant que la douleur s'estompe. Jusqu'au moment où elle décide de reprendre sa vie en main. Si les sentiments de Ben se sont évanouis, il suffit de les ranimer. Chaque jour, elle va donc lui écrire un souvenir de leur histoire. Mais cette plongée dans le passé peut faire resurgir les secrets les plus enfouis.

"La carte postale est arrivée dans notre boîte aux lettres au milieu des traditionnelles cartes de vœux. Elle n'était pas signée, l'auteur avait voulu rester anonyme. Il y avait l'opéra Garnier d'un côté, et de l'autre, les prénoms des grands-parents de ma mère, de sa tante et son oncle, morts à Auschwitz en 1942. Vingt ans plus tard, j'ai décidé de savoir qui nous avait envoyé cette carte postale, en explorant toutes les hypothèses qui s'ouvraient à moi.

Two little girls stand with their heads bowed in my living room. I’m told they’re my granddaughters. Daisy is nine, and Alice seven. Daisy is the spitting image of her mother. This is the first time I’ve met them since my daughter and I fell out after she married that waste of space, Vince. They’ve come to live with me because their mother — my daughter — was murdered. In her own home while they slept close by. I think Vince killed her. But the police can’t prove it. I’ve always known he was no good. He treated my daughter like dirt. I said he’d cheat on her — but she wouldn’t listen.

My fiancé brought me tea and scrambled eggs in bed that morning, and we snuggled together, talking about buying our rings, and about our perfect wedding next year. Then we headed into town. He held my hand and gazed at the ring I liked best, a smile spreading slowly over his face. Then a glass of bubbly to celebrate. I felt flushed, excited and ready for the rest of my life with the man I loved. We race to get on the train home. It screams to a halt and I run towards its open doors. Made it. I think he’s right behind me — but when I turn around, he’s gone.

And she certainly never knew that her medical school earned the nickname Dead Med thanks to the tragic history of students overdosing on illegal drugs.

Lucas knows the perfect night entails just three things: video games, wine, and pad thai. Peanuts are a must! Other people? Not so much. Why complicate things when he’s happy alone? Then one day the apartment board, a vexing trio of authority, rings his doorbell. And Lucas’s solitude takes a startling hike. They demand to see his frying pan. Someone left one next to the recycling room overnight, and instead of removing the errant object, as Lucas suggests, they insist on finding the guilty party. But their plan backfires. Colossally.

Story
Johnnie Rico never really intended to join up—and definitely not the infantry. But now that he’s in the thick of it, trying to get through combat training harder than anything he could have imagined, he knows everyone in his unit is one bad move away from buying the farm in the interstellar war the Terran Federation is waging against the Arachnids. Because everyone in the Mobile Infantry fights. And if the training doesn’t kill you, the Bugs are more than ready to finish the job.

London: 1968. Liz Houghton is languishing as an obituary writer at a London newspaper when a young girl’s disappearance captivates the city. If Liz can break the story, it’s her way into the newsroom. She already has a scoop: Her best friend Marisa is a police officer who is assigned to the case. Liz follows Marisa to Dorset, where they make another disturbing discovery. Over two decades earlier, three girls disappeared while evacuating from London. One was found murdered in the woods near a train line. The other two were never seen again.

Story
The 13 chapters of The Art of War, each devoted to one aspect of warfare, were compiled by the high-ranking Chinese military general, strategist, and philosopher Sun-Tzu. In spite of its battlefield specificity, The Art of War has found new life in the modern age, with leaders in fields as wide and far-reaching as world politics, human psychology, and corporate strategy finding valuable insight in its timeworn words.

Une histoire qui donne envie de la vie
Il faut faire attention au début des chapitres, laquelle des sœurs parle. L’actrice ne donne pas autant de différence entre les voix des sœurs, et ça m’a pris un peu de temps pour comprendre le format du livre. (Ça peut être aussi parce que le français n’est pas ma première langue). À un moment, je pensais arrêter de l’écouter, mais l’histoire se développe lentement et progressivement. À la fin, je suis heureuse de l’avoir écouté jusqu’au bout. C’est une histoire de la pouvoir, de l’amour, de la famille, et de l’esprit, des humains pour faire de vraies connexions.
