"Lotto et Mathilde sont beaux, séduisants, follement amoureux. Promis à un avenir radieux, ils se marient très vite. Dix ans plus tard, Lotto est devenu un dramaturge au succès planétaire ; Mathilde, dans l’ombre, l’a toujours soutenu. Leur couple est l’image type d’un partenariat réussi. Mais les histoires d’amour parfaites cachent souvent des secrets qu’il vaudrait mieux taire… Née en 1978, Lauren Groff est notamment l’autrice des Monstres de Templeton. Les Furies, choisi comme meilleur roman de 2015 par Barack Obama, a été le succès littéraire de l’année aux États-Unis."

[French] - Les Terres indomptées

"« Sa capuche tombait bas sur son visage, frêle était-elle, osseuse, menue, telle une enfant, réduite par la faim à presque rien, à sa racine, ses nerfs, ses fibres, ses tendons. Bien qu’affamée et aveuglée par les ténèbres, elle était vive. » Une jeune fille semble perdue au cœur de la forêt la plus obscure. Nous sommes au XVIIe siècle, dans un territoire qui deviendra les États-Unis. Elle vient de s’échapper, elle court loin de la servitude et des brimades. Maintenant, il faut survivre. Dans ce conte sauvage, une fille sans avenir s’affirme en désobéissant, pour devenir au gré des épreuves une véritable héroïne. Les terres indomptées est un grand roman d’aventures, haletant, lyrique, porté par une écriture en état de grâce."

I had barely started it before I was bloody well blaspheming with delight. Matrix is a gorgeous, sensual, addictive read' SARA COLLINS Seventeen-year-old Marie, too wild for courtly life, is thrown to the dogs one winter morning, expelled from the royal court to become the prioress of an abbey. Marie is strange - tall, a giantess, her elbows and knees stick out, ungainly. At first taken aback by life at the abbey, Marie finds purpose and passion among her mercurial sisters. Yet she deeply misses her secret lover Cecily and queen Eleanor. Born last in a long line of women warriors and crusaders, women who flew across the countryside with their sword fighting and dagger work, Marie decides to chart a bold new course for the women she now leads and protects. She will bring herself, and her sisters, out of the darkness, into riches and power. MATRIX is a bold vision of female love, devotion and desire from one of the most adventurous writers at work today. 'A thrillingly vivid, adventurous story about women and power that will blow readers' minds. Left me gasping.' EMMA DONOGHUE 'Both epic and intimate, this sweeping novel explores questions of female ambition, creativity and passion with electrifying prose and sparkling wit. A propulsive, captivating read' BRIT BENNETT"

"Brought to you by Penguin. **Now available to pre-order, MATRIX, the remarkable new novel from Lauren Groff** 'A really powerful novel' BARACK OBAMA 'Enough betrayal, vengeance and sex to read like one of the Greek tragedies' OBSERVER 'Rich, lyrical and rewarding.' PAULA HAWKINS, author of THE GIRL ON THE TRAIN, Guardian Books of the Year Every story has two sides. Every relationship has two perspectives. And sometimes, it turns out, the key to a great marriage is not its truths but its secrets. At age twenty-two, Lotto and Mathilde are tall, glamorous, madly in love, and destined for greatness. A decade later, their marriage is still the envy of their friends, but more complicated than it seems from the outside. As the years pass, stunning revelations threaten to destroy everything they've built together; but the strongest marriages are those that survive the greatest blows. Some secrets are better left in the dark. Others must be torn into the open, no matter how dangerous they are. NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER BARACK OBAMA'S BOOK OF THE YEAR A FINALIST FOR THE 2015 NATIONAL BOOK AWARD SHORTLISTED FOR THE 2015 NATIONAL BOOK CRITICS CIRCLE AWARD AMAZON.COM's 2015 BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR 'A lyrical and, at times, astonishingly beautiful account of how little it is possible to know about those closest to us.' FINANCIAL TIMES 'Addictive to read ... Groff has drawn a woman so complex it seems that with every chapter a new layer is revealed, each as deliciously intriguing as the next ...

THE POOL 'A searing exploration of how far a person will go for love, loyalty and revenge.' TIME 'Rare and impressive... Groff has created a novel of extraordinary and genuine complexity ... The word 'ambitious' is often used as code for 'overly ambitious', a signal that an author's execution has fallen short. No such hidden message here. Lauren Groff is a writer of rare gifts, and Fates and Furies is an unabashedly ambitious novel that delivers - with comedy, tragedy, well-deployed erudition and unmistakable glimmers of brilliance throughout.'

Arcadia

"A staggering portrait of a crumbling utopia, this “timeless and vast” novel filled with the “raw beauty” beautifully depicts an idyllic commune in New York State—and charts its eventual yet inevitable downfall (Janet Maslin, The New York Times). NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER “Timeless and vast … The raw beauty of Ms. Groff’s prose is one of the best things about Arcadia. But it is by no means this book’s only kind of splendor.”—Janet Maslin, The New York Times “Even the most incidental details vibrate with life Arcadia wends a harrowing path back to a fragile, lovely place you can believe in.”—Ron Charles, The Washington Post In the fields of western New York State in the 1970s, a few dozen idealists set out to live off the land, founding a commune centered on the grounds of a decaying mansion called Arcadia House. Arcadia follows this romantic utopian dream from its hopeful start through its heyday. Arcadia’s inhabitants include Handy, the charismatic leader; his wife, Astrid, a midwife; Abe, a master carpenter; Hannah, a baker and historian; and Abe and Hannah’s only child, Bit. While Arcadia rises and falls, Bit, too, ages and changes. He falls in love with Helle, Handy’s lovely, troubled daughter. And eventually he must face the world beyond Arcadia. In Arcadia, Groff displays her literary gifts to stunning effect."
