'A touching portrait of two families bound together by a split-second decision that tore a hole through an entire city.' Attica Locke 'Steph Cha fearlessly explores the duality of LA's promise and betrayal, its vision of new beginnings and the brutal divisions that cut between race and class.' Walter Mosley Grace Park and Shawn Mathews share a city - Los Angeles - but seemingly little else. Coming from different generations and very different communities, their paths wouldn't normally cross at all. As Grace battles confusion over her elder sister's estrangement from their Korean-immigrant parents, Shawn tries to help his cousin Ray readjust to city life after years spent in prison. But something in their past links these two families. As the city around them threatens to erupt into violence, echoing the worst days of the early 1990s, the lives of Grace and Shawn are set to collide in ways which will change them all forever. Beautifully written, and marked by its aching humanity as much as its growing sense of dread, Your House Will Pay is a powerful and urgent novel for today. 'Believe the hype. Your House Will Pay is the goods. Sharply written, tragically and movingly relevant.' Rob Hart, author of The Warehouse 'Both a crackling page-turner and a deeply felt work of eloquence and devastating insight.' Eliz

August Brill, 72 ans, se remet d'un accident de voiture chez sa fille, dans le Vermont. Comme il n'arrive pas à dormir, il reste étendu et se remémore sa vie, en tentant toutefois d'éviter les souvenirs pénibles, comme la mort récente de sa femme ou le meurtre atroce du fiancé de sa petite-fille. August imagine alors un monde parallèle où l'Amérique n'est pas en guerre contre l'Irak mais avec elle-même - un monde dans lequel les Tours Jumelles ne se sont pas écroulées mais où une guerre civile a brutalement éclaté après les élections en 2000. Au fil de la nuit, l'histoire d'August devient de plus en plus intense et ce qu'il essaye désespérément de se cacher fait tout pour revenir à la surface.

of a group of students growing up in a darkly skewered version of contemporary England. Narrated by Kathy, now 31, Never Let Me Go hauntingly dramatises her attempts to come to terms with her childhood at the seemingly idyllic Hailsham School, and with the fate that has always awaited her and her closest friends in the wider world. A story of love, friendship and memory, Never Let Me Go is charged throughout with a sense of the fragility of life.
