Rate this book
L''exquise Betty, quatorze ans à peine, est de retour à Sydney après des mois de captivité chez les Maori. Bientôt, la société australienne bien-pensante du XIXe siècle est secouée par la rumeur : à quoi Betty doit-elle sa survie ? Aurait-elle mis en cause l''honneur de son mari ? La réponse tient en une bouleversante confession à plusieurs voix, inspirée de faits réels.

Une bonne surprise. Je l'avais pris au hasard à l'expo maori mais j'ai vraiment apprécié la lecture, les histoires de deux femmes qui se croisent, pas totalement à leur place et qui tentent de s'en accommoder au mieux. Le mélange lettre de différents personnages/narration à la 1ere personne se fait bien.
