Book Description Paperback. Condition: NEUF. A deux heures du matin dans le hall désert d'un centre commercial de l'Ohio, un veilleur de nuit découvre une jeune fille étendue par terre. Inerte, aphone et anonyme, Emma est surtout tatouée des pieds à la tête. Lucy, une ancienne attraction de foire, se propose rapidement de s'occuper de la jeune muette et de l'adopter. D'abord, elle cherche à savoir ce qui a bien pu arriver à Emma, mais cette recherche des origines se heurte vite à de dangereux poursuivants. Peu à peu, le chasseur se transforme en proie : Lucy est faite prisonnière par ceux qu'elle pensait poursuivre. C'est alors Emma qui part sur les routes pour tenter de retrouver sa mère adoptive. Elle aussi finit par tomber entre les mains d'un étrange tortionnaire. Le Pasteur devenu télé-évangéliste dans le piège duquel les deux jeunes femmes se sont précipité était en fait à l'origine de leurs deux destins. C'est lui qui, des années auparavant, avait violé Lucy, la promettant ainsi à un avenir de bête de foire énorme et difforme. C'est également lui qui, après l'avoir enlevée à ses parents, avait tatoué Emma des pieds à la tête et l'avait forcée au silence. Seule l'intervention d'un nain, ancienne attraction de cirque qui aura mis des années pour traduire en mots son amour envers Lucy, permettra aux deux femmes de retrouver la liberté, la parole et une identité enfin assumée. - Nombre de page(s) : 374 p. - Poids : 0g - Langue : fre - Genre : Littérature Anglo-Saxonne Littératures.
