Paperback. Derriere toute grande histoire se cache une grande blessure. Pourquoi cette petite ville du Middle West est-elle soudain frappee d'epouvante en cet ete 1953 ? Qui diable a interet a semer la panique et la mort parmi cette population sans histoire ? Et enfin, pourquoi le jeune Josh et son frere Simon sont-ils observes par les uns et meprises par les autres, comme si un mauvais sang coulait dans leurs veines ? Autant de questions qu'avec une ecriture parfaitement maitrisee, Alexis Arend demele tout au long de ce voyage siderant. Voila une intrigue fascinante qui renoue avec les grandes histoires epiques, dignes des meilleurs auteurs populaires americains. Mon pere avait coutume d'appeler ce coin du Montana la larme d'un ange . Je crois, avec le recul, qu'aucun nom ne me semblera jamais plus beau, ni plus approprie aux evenements de cette annee-la. C'etait l'ete 1953, j'avais tout juste douze ans et mon frere Josh, dix ans. C'etait quelques semaines avant qu'on ne le tue. Je repense souvent a ce lieu empreint d'un bonheur oublie. Mon ame d'enfant s'est gorgee de ce panorama, a en eclater, au point que meme aujourd'hui, je parviens a me le rememorer tres distinctement. Je suis encore capable d'en retracer les moindres contours dans ma tete, je retrouve ses rives accueillantes, je ressens a nouveau la fraicheur de son eau claire sur ma peau, et la douce tiedeur du soleil qui s'y refletait. Je revois nos peaux dorees apres des heures de baignade. Je revois mon pere, je revois Josh. Et, a present que me voila bien age, lorsque parfois j'eprouve des difficultes a trouver le sommeil, lorsque, la nuit venue, le passe revient me hanter, c'est a Swan Lake que je songe. A cette larme d'un ange. Ces souvenirs lointains, enfouis en moi, me sont a la fois infiniment beaux, et infiniment douloureux. Swan Lake, et cet ete 1953. Plongez au coeur d'un recit ou se cotoient reminiscence de l'enfance, drame et surnaturel. Par l'auteur de Heaven's Road et Salamanca.
