Frances Liardet Ordre des livres (chronologique)
Frances Liardet, enfant des enfants de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, tisse des récits qui explorent les complexités de l'identité et de l'expérience héritée. Sa prose se caractérise par une profonde perspicacité psychologique, examinant les liens profonds, souvent inexprimés, entre le passé et le présent. À travers une voix distinctive et atmosphérique, Liardet éclaire les couches de l'expérience humaine avec un sens aigu du détail et de la nuance.

December 1940. In the disorderly evacuation of Southampton, England, newly married Ellen Parr finds a small child asleep on the backseat of an empty bus. No one knows who little Pamela is. Ellen professed not to want children with her older husband, and when she takes Pamela into her home and rapidly into her heart, she discovers that this is true: Ellen doesn't want children. She wants only Pamela. Three golden years pass as the Second World War rages on. Then one day Pamela is taken away, screaming. Ellen is no stranger to sorrow, but when she returns to the quiet village life she's long lived, she finds herself asking: In a world changed by war, is it fair to wish for an unchanged heart? In the spirit of We Were the Lucky Ones and The Nightingale , here is a novel about courage and kindness, hardship and friendship, and the astonishing power of love.
