Don Tillman a un gros problème. Ce n'est pas son incapacité à vivre en société. Ni ses idées arrêtées sur à peu près tout (à commencer par le homard au dîner, le mardi). Non, le vrai souci de Don, brillant professeur de génétique, c'est le «Problème Epouse». Sur 100 individus de sexe féminin, 100 ne répondent absolument pas à la liste de critères scrupuleusement établie par lui - et Rosie, étudiante le jour, serveuse la nuit, encore moins que les autres... Et c'est bien là que le théorème se complique...

Drawing on their unrivaled sources, Sheera Frenkel and Cecilia Kang take readers inside the complex court politics, alliances and rivalries within the company to shine a light on the fatal cracks in the architecture of the tech behemoth"--Publisher's description.
À Edgecombe St. Mary, le major Ernest Pettigrew, gentleman anglais raffiné et courtois, suit avec rigueur le rituel de sa tasse de thé.

La routine du major est bouleversée par la mort de son frère Bertie et la rencontre avec Mme Ali, une commerçante pakistanaise également veuve. Leur passion commune pour la littérature et leur expérience du deuil les rapprochent, malgré les différences culturelles qui les séparent. Ils doivent faire face aux préjugés des villageois, où le racisme ordinaire se manifeste dans divers contextes sociaux. Les tensions s'intensifient avec l'arrivée de Roger et sa petite amie américaine, ainsi que le neveu de Mme Ali, qui revient du Pakistan avec un secret. Helen Simonson explore avec charme et intelligence le thème des traditions, révélant à la fois leur potentiel de réconfort et leur danger. L'atmosphère so british du roman enchante, tout en posant la question : votre tasse de thé, avec un nuage de lait ou une tranche de citron ?
