Synopsis
PAT CONROY, America ' s preeminent storyteller, delivers a sweeping novel of lyric intensity and searing truth - the story of Jack McCall, an American expatriate in Rome, scarred by tragedy and betrayal. His desperate desire to find peace after his wife ' s suicide draws him into a painful, intimate search for the one haunting secret in his family ' s past that can heal his anguished heart.
Spanning three generations and two continents, from the contemporary ruins of the American South to the ancient ruins of Rome, from the unutterable horrors of the Holocaust to the lingering trauma of Vietnam, Beach Music sings with life ' s pain and glory. It is another masterpiece in PAT CONROY ' S legendary list of beloved novels.

Paperback. Condition: OKAZ. Vous aimez le vrai et grand roman, les écrivains qui par leur souffle romanesque et leur imagination sans limites savent vous faire vivre une fiction plus forte que la réalité. Avec Beach music, le nouveau livre si attendu de Pat Conroy, laissez-vous entraîner dans une fresque à l'immense pouvoir de fascination. Une intrigue aux mille ramifications, un style flamboyant, des personnages incarnant toutes les émotions de la vie, un humour tragi-comique irrésistible : avec Beach Music, Pat Conroy vous livre les clefs d'un monde où le rire n'est jamais loin des larmes. Après Le Prince des marées qui reçut un accueil unanime de la presse et du public, Pat Conroy se montre à nouveau un romancier extraordinaire. De Rome à la Caroline du Sud, il nous conte l'histoire mouvementée de Jack McCall et de son incroyable famille. Plongeant au coeur des mystères qui ont bouleversé plusieurs générations des terreurs de l'Holocauste à la nostalgie des années 60, enraciné dans la poésie sauvage de son Sud natal, Jack McCall devra exorciser son passé, la mort de sa mère et le suicide de sa femme, la trahison de l'amitié et de l'amour pour retrouver le chemin du pardon et de la réconciliation. - Nombre de page(s) : 701 p. - Poids : 0g - Langue : fre - Genre : Littérature Anglo-Saxonne.
