I’ve had a crush on Dylan St. Clair ever since he climbed into my bedroom window ten years ago. Wrong window, Romeo. I was eleven. He was seventeen. A bad boy from the wrong side of the tracks with a chip on his shoulder and fresh bruises from his latest fight, he went on to play the starring role in all my teenage fantasies. But I always knew he was off-limits. So, over the years, I gave up wishing and hoping we could ever be together. Until he kissed me on a cold beach one starry winter’s night.

Ein Lehrer hat sich, nachdem er wegen einer Affäre mit einer Schülerin suspendiert wurde, in ein französisches Dorf zurückgezogen. Idyllisch wirkt es hier, doch der Schein trügt. Ein Bauvorhaben reißt uralte Gräben wieder auf, und ehe der Fremde sich's versieht, ist er in das Ränkespiel verwickelt. Es entspinnt sich ein Netz aus Verbrechen längst vergangener Tage und höchst lebendigen Intrigen.

Dans un style alliant réalisme et surnaturel, ce chef-d'œuvre de Charles-Ferdinand Ramuz s'inspire des légendes alpines où l'homme entre raison et superstition fait face à la montagne et à sa rudesse. Le pâturage de Sasseneire en haute-montagne est délaissé depuis des décennies et des rumeurs circulent à propos d'évènements dramatiques qui s'y seraient déroulés.

Clara Seymour is trying to find her feet in London, living away from home for the first time. Brought up by her domineering mother, treasuring time any time with her adoring father, Clara's world is brought to a standstill when her dad abruptly dies. Then, a mystery comes to light in a letter from him. I am sure you are aware that before I met your mother I had a previous marriage. But what we never discussed is that we had a daughter. So begins a journey of discovery that takes Clara to remote Norway and a landscape as brutal as it is bewitching.

In a dry Kansas riverbed, a troop of young girls finds a human hand. This discovery leads Billy Spire, the tough and broken sheriff of Ewing County, to investigate and confront the depths of his community and of himself: the racism, the dying economy, the lies and truths of friendship, grievances of the past and present, and even his own injured marriage. To flyover folks, Ewing County appears nothing more than a handful of empty streets amid crop circles and the meandering, depleted Arkansas River. The truth of this place—the interwoven lives and stories—is anything but simple.
