Helene Dunbar Ordre des livres (chronologique)

    Helene Dunbar est célébrée comme la "reine de la prose déchirante", un titre qui suggère la profonde profondeur émotionnelle de sa narration. Ses récits explorent les complexités de l'esprit humain, examinant des relations complexes et les sentiments les plus bruts avec une honnêteté inégalée. La maîtrise de Dunbar réside dans sa capacité à créer des atmosphères évocatrices qui entraînent les lecteurs dans les mondes de ses personnages, faisant résonner son œuvre longtemps après la dernière page. Elle possède une voix distinctive qui capture les nuances de l'amour, de la perte et de la résilience.

      A poignant, heartbreaking, and uplifting story in the tradition of The Perks of Being a Wallflower about three friends coming of age in the early 1980s as they struggle to forge their own paths in the face of fear of the unknown.Michael is content to live in the shadow of his best friends, James, an enigmatic teen performance artist who everyone wants and no one can have and Becky, who calls things as she sees them, while doing all she can to protect those she loves. His brother, Connor, has already been kicked out of the house for being gay and laying low seems to be his only chance to avoid the same fate. To pass the time before graduation, Michael hangs out at The Echo where he can dance and forget about his father's angry words, the pressures of school, and the looming threat of AIDS, a disease that everyone is talking about, but no one understands.Then he meets Gabriel, a boy who actually sees him. A boy who, unlike seemingly everyone else in New York City, is interested in him and not James. And Michael has to decide what he's willing to risk to be himself.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Optioned for screen by Game of Thrones’ Nikolaj Coster-Waldau’s, Ill Kippers Productions, and Pretty Little Liars’ Julian Morris
