    Quoi qu'il arrive
    • Et si vous aviez dit oui, que ce serait-il passé ? En 1958, Eva a dix-neuf ans, elle est étudiante à l'université de Cambridge et la petite amie de David, un acteur ambitieux follement amoureux d'elle. En chemin pour un rendez-vous, son vélo roule sur un clou. Un passant, Jim, assiste à la scène. Que va-t-il se passer ? Ce moment sera déterminant pour leur avenir commun. Un point de départ, trois versions possibles de leur histoire d'amour : le roman suit les différents chemins que leurs vies pourraient prendre après cette première rencontre. Des vies remplies d'amour, de trahisons, d'ambition et sous-tendues par un lien si fort qu'il se renforce au fil du temps. Car, quoi qu'il arrive, Eva et Jim finiront ensemble. Quoi qu'il arrive décrit les méandres de l'amour, ses multiples facettes et l'évolution des sentiments. Ces variations sur le même thème racontent les détours que prend l'existence et l'impact de décisions, qui semblent a priori anodines, sur notre vie.

An absolute must read' STYLIST If you could choose just sixteen moments to define your entire life, what would they be? Cass Wheeler has seen it all - from the searing heights of success, to earth-shattering moments of despair. She has known passion, envy, pride, fear, and love. She has been a daughter, a mother, a singer, a lover. A musician born in 1950, Cass is now taking one day to select the sixteen songs in her repertoire that have meant the most to her. And behind each song lies a story - from the day her mother abandoned her, to her passionate first love, to the moment she lost everything. The dreams, the failures, the second chances. But what made her disappear so suddenly from her public life and, most importantly, can she find her way back?
