Story4.5 out of 5 stars 29
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.

Story5 out of 5 stars 4
En 1944, les Allemands s'attendent à un débarquement. Mais où ? Les Alliés ont édifié sur la côte, au nord de Londres, une formidable base où s'entassent, entre d'interminables rangées de baraquements, des chars, des avions, des canons - tout cela en toile peinte tendue sur du bois ou en carton-pâte. Il s'agit de faire croire à Hitler que le débarquement se fera dans le Pas-de-Calais et non pas en Normandie.

Story5 out of 5 stars 2
Jane, jeune étudiante anglaise qui vit à Paris, découvre que l'homme de sa vie, un Américain du nom d'Ellis, n'est pas le poète sans le sou qu'il prétend être, mais un agent de la CIA. Par dépit, elle épouse Jean-Pierre, un jeune médecin idéaliste comme elle, qui l'emmène en Afghanistan. Ils vivent là en soignant les résistants dans la Vallée des Lions, au cœur du Panshir. Mais Jean-Pierre n'est pas le médecin dévoué que l'on croit.

Une interpellation qui tourne au fiasco. Un officier admis à l'hôpital en urgence absolue. Pour le commandant Sharko, la lieutenant Lucie Henebelle et le reste de l'équipe, la déroute est totale. Violente. Mais la soif de justice est plus forte que jamais. Mis à l'écart le temps que l'IGPN tranche sur sa responsabilité, Sharko se lance alors dans des investigations en dehors de tout cadre légal. Une enquête dangereuse et éprouvante qui laissera des traces.

Publisher's summary
En cette fin de XVIIIe siècle, l’Angleterre est dirigée par un gouvernement conservateur qui réprime toute tentative de révolte. De l’autre côté de la Manche, Napoléon Bonaparte accroît inexorablement son pouvoir.
Alors que la guerre est aux portes de l’Europe, la vie des habitants de Kingsbridge est sur le point de basculer. Sal, fileuse téméraire, est témoin d’un accident tragique qui va bouleverser sa vie. Le courageux Amos, drapier, qui a hérité prématurément du négoce de son père, va devoir affronter le terrible Hornbeam pour rembourser ses dettes. Il sera aidé de Spade, tisserand novateur, et encouragé par la douce Elsie qui se bat pour financer une école où les enfants pauvres pourront apprendre à lire et à écrire.
Entre destins contrariés, jalousies meurtrières, justice arbitraire, guerre sanglante et révolution industrielle, Ken Follett dépeint avec une virtuosité inégalée une génération qui incarne la lutte pour un avenir libre de toute oppression.

It’s 1984, and life has changed beyond recognition. Airstrip One, formerly known as Great Britain, is a place where Big Brother is always watching, and nobody can hide. Except, perhaps, for Winston Smith. Whilst working at the Ministry of Truth, rewriting history, he secretly dreams of freedom. And in a world where love and sex are forbidden, where it’s hard to distinguish between friend and foe, he meets Julia and O’Brien and vows to rebel.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 734
It’s the summer of ’77 in New York City, and the only thing more unnerving than the scorching heatwave is the rampant murder, leaving washed-up homicide detective Richard Dietrich on edge. When Dietrich investigates a brutal mob hit the brass doesn’t want him to solve, he goes from phoning it in to getting in over his head. Caught up in a mysterious second homicide with an even more perplexing perpetrator, Dietrich starts to second guess his instincts—and his memory—as he searches for answers at the bottom of a bottle.

In the heart of the South Pacific lies Point Nemo, the most desolate and remote place on Earth. At its core is a dead zone, devoid of life, where government agencies crash their obsolete satellites and space stations, confident they won't harm a soul. When the International Space Station suffers a catastrophic failure and plummets through the atmosphere, it's here that Mission Specialist Julie Rohr, an astrobiologist studying living space dust called xylem, finds herself marooned. Julie's only hope for rescue lies in the hands of her estranged father, Dr. Finn Maddern, a renowned mycologist.

When the call came it seemed like the answer to my prayers. My career as a voice actor had been over for months and me and my little girl Scarlet were living back at my mum’s place. I felt like a failure professionally—and with Scarlet having problems at school, as a parent as well. So, when I was asked to narrate a new book by disappeared novelist Philippa Roberts I jumped at the chance, even if it meant leaving Scarlet with my ex, Hugo, for a few weeks. Hugo, with his perfect new home and his perfect new girlfriend Saskia. But this isn’t a dream come true. It’s a nightmare.

The doorbell rings, just days after my beloved husband’s sudden death. I don’t recognise the woman on our doorstep, with her blonde highlights, a diamond bracelet identical to my own and a bouncing baby boy in her arms. As I show her inside, I notice her eyes grow wide as she takes in our spacious hallway, and the big squashy sofas that we all used to pile on. She glances at the silver-framed family photos and my little daughter hiding behind my skirts. She looks at me, her blue eyes serious. ‘I’m sorry’ she says. ‘I am your husband’s girlfriend. And this is his son.'
