    • Daisy Jones & The Six... le groupe de rock le plus mythique de tous les temps. Leurs concerts remplissaient les stades aux quatre coins de la planète et ils ont enflammé les nuits de toute une génération. De leurs débuts dans les bars miteux d'un Sunset Strip écrasé de soleil californien à la gloire, leur histoire est celle d'une ascension fulgurante. De l'euphorie qui vient avec le succès, des excitants qu'on prend pour entretenir la magie et des calmants qu'on avale pour essayer de dormir. C'est l'histoire du rock'n'roll. C'est aussi celle de Daisy Jones, l'icône ultime. Mais le 12 juillet 1979, après le plus mémorable des concerts, le groupe a éclaté. Personne n'a jamais su pourquoi... Jusqu'à aujourd'hui. Musiciens, fans, managers, amants, gardiens d'immeubles... ils ont tous été les témoins de cette histoire... Mais quarante ans plus tard, chacun a sa propre version de la vérité. Cet ovni littéraire, qui a enflammé les lecteurs des deux côtés de l'Atlantique, nous plonge avec frénésie au coeur d'une des périodes artistiques et sociales les plus exaltantes de notre époque !

    • Carrie Soto is fierce, and her determination to win at any cost has not made her popular. But by the time she retires from tennis, she is the best player the world has ever seen. She has shattered every record and claimed twenty Grand Slam titles. And if you ask Carrie, she is entitled to every one. She sacrificed nearly everything to become the best, with her father, Javier, as her coach. A former champion himself, Javier has trained her since the age of two. But six years after her retirement, Carrie finds herself sitting in the stands of the 1994 US Open, watching her record be taken from her by a brutal, stunning player named Nicki Chan. At thirty-seven years old, Carrie makes the monumental decision to come out of retirement and be coached by her father for one last year in an attempt to reclaim her record. Even if the sports media says that they never liked “the Battle-Axe” anyway. Even if her body doesn’t move as fast as it did.

      Three women in different eras confront danger and witchcraft in this eerie multigenerational horror saga. Nana Alba often recounted tales of witches to her great-granddaughter Minerva, shaping her fascination with horror literature. Now a graduate student, Minerva is researching Beatrice Tremblay, an obscure author known for macabre tales. As she assembles her thesis, Minerva discovers that Tremblay's famous novel, The Vanishing, was inspired by true events from the Great Depression. Tremblay, who attended the same university as Minerva, became obsessed with her beautiful and mysterious roommate, who vanished under enigmatic circumstances. As Minerva delves deeper into Tremblay's manuscript, she feels a sinister presence reminiscent of the malign force that haunted Tremblay and the missing girl. These unsettling occurrences echo Nana Alba's stories of her girlhood in early 1900s Mexico, where she had a chilling encounter with a witch. Minerva suspects that the same dark shadow that plagued her great-grandmother and Beatrice Tremblay now threatens her in 1990s Massachusetts. The pursuit of an academic career can be grueling, but it may become deadly when witchcraft is involved.

      From the New York Times bestselling author of The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, comes a breath taking novel about modern marriage, the depth of family ties, and the year that one remarkable heroine spends exploring both. When Lauren and Ryan's marriage reaches the breaking point, they come up with an unconventional plan. They decide to take a year off in the hopes of finding a way to fall in love again. One year apart, and only one rule: they cannot contact each other. Aside from that, anything goes. Lauren embarks on a journey of self-discovery, quickly finding that her friends and family have their own ideas about the meaning of marriage. These influences, as well as her own healing process and the challenges of living apart from Ryan, begin to change Lauren's ideas about monogamy and marriage. She starts to question: When you can have romance without loyalty and commitment without marriage, when love and lust are no longer tied together, what do you value? What are you willing to fight for? This is a love story about what happens when the love fades. It's about staying in love, seizing love, forsaking love, and committing to love with everything you've got. And above all, After I Do is the story of a couple caught up in an old game-and searching for a new road to happily ever after.
