Loin

Rate this book
Pour fuir une vie convenue et monotone comme celle de ses parents, Martha, une trentenaire éprise de liberté, choisit de quitter Edward, Baltimore et tous ses repères. Loin, elle laisse ses fêlures et ses souvenirs la rattraper : son enfance insoumise, ses rapports aux hommes, nombreux à avoir traversé sa vie, ou encore sa jeune sœur Carly qui finit par vivre avec Edward l'histoire d'amour qu'elle lui a toujours refusé. Avec l'acuité et la sobriété qui la caractérise, Victoria Lancelotta nous livre la confidence d'une âme à fleur de peau.

" Il n'y a qu'une fille pour écrire ça comme ça. "
