Description: ​Après le phénoménal succès d'Un jour, David Nicholls, sacré auteur britannique de l'année aux National Book Awards, fait son grand retour avec une comédie douce-amère irrésistible qui a déjà ravi le cœur du monde entier. Paris, Amsterdam, Munich, Vérone, Venise, Florence, Rome, Naples. Le Louvre, le musée Van-Gogh, la place Saint-Marc. Terrasses ensoleillées, trattorias bondées : l'été s'annonce chargé pour les Petersen. Douglas, le père, est extatique. Connie, la mère, est plus mesurée. Pour Albie, leur fils de dix-sept ans, c'est carrément l'enfer. Et pour tous, c'est peut-être l'occasion d'un nouveau départ. Douglas le sait, c'est sa dernière chance de prouver que derrière le biochimiste coincé se cache un mari attentionné et un père superfun. Connie, elle, va devoir affronter le souvenir de celle qu'elle était, cette étudiante en art qui sillonnait l'Europe en quête de folles expériences. Et celle qu'elle est devenue, une épouse rangée qui voudrait bien passer à autre chose. Quant à Albie, grand photographe en herbe, entre fugues et passion amoureuse, arrivera-t-il à renouer avec son père et à voler enfin de ses propres ailes ? Crise de la cinquantaine, crise de couple, crise d'adolescence : Nous, c'est vous.

Description: “A tale of first love that hits all the right notes . . . [it] just might be the sweetest book to brighten your late summer.” —The Washington Post "Dazzles with wit.”—People From the bestselling author of One Day comes a bittersweet and brilliantly funny coming-of-age tale about the heart-stopping thrill of first love—and how one summer can forever change a life. Now: On the verge of marriage and a fresh start, thirty-eight year old Charlie Lewis finds that he can’t stop thinking about the past, and the events of one particular summer. Then: Sixteen-year-old Charlie Lewis is the kind of boy you don’t remember in the school photograph. He’s failing his classes. At home he looks after his depressed father—when surely it should be the other way round—and if he thinks about the future at all, it is with a kind of dread. But when Fran Fisher bursts into his life and despite himself, Charlie begins to hope. In order to spend time with Fran, Charlie must take on a challenge that could lose him the respect of his friends and require him to become a different person. He must join the Company. And if the Company sounds like a cult, the truth is even more appalling: The price of hope, it seems, is Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet learned and performed in a theater troupe over the course of a summer. Now: Charlie can’t go the altar without coming to terms with his relationship with Fran, his friends, and his former self. Poignant, funny, enchanting, devastating, Sweet Sorrow is a tragicomedy about the rocky path to adulthood and the confusion of family life, a celebration of the reviving power of friendship and that brief, searing explosion of first love that can only be looked at directly after it has burned out.

Description: Longlisted for the Man Booker Prize David Nicholls brings the wit and intelligence that graced his enormously popular New York Times bestseller, One Day, to a compellingly human, deftly funny new novel about what holds marriages and families together—and what happens, and what we learn about ourselves, when everything threatens to fall apart. Douglas Petersen may be mild-mannered, but behind his reserve lies a sense of humor that, against all odds, seduces beautiful Connie into a second date . . . and eventually into marriage. Now, almost three decades after their relationship first blossomed in London, they live more or less happily in the suburbs with their moody seventeen year-old son, Albie. Then Connie tells him she thinks she wants a divorce. The timing couldn’t be worse. Hoping to encourage her son’s artistic interests, Connie has planned a month-long tour of European capitals, a chance to experience the world’s greatest works of art as a family, and she can’t bring herself to cancel. And maybe going ahead with the original plan is for the best anyway? Douglas is privately convinced that this landmark trip will rekindle the romance in the marriage, and might even help him to bond with Albie. Narrated from Douglas’s endearingly honest, slyly witty, and at times achingly optimistic point of view, Us is the story of a man trying to rescue his relationship with the woman he loves, and learning how to get closer to a son who’s always felt like a stranger. Us is a moving meditation on the demands of marriage and parenthood, the regrets of abandoning youth for middle age, and the intricate relationship between the heart and the head. And in David Nicholls’s gifted hands, Douglas’s odyssey brings Europe—from the streets of Amsterdam to the famed museums of Paris, from the cafés of Venice to the beaches of Barcelona—to vivid life just as he experiences a powerful awakening of his own. Will this summer be his last as a husband, or the moment when he turns his marriage, and maybe even his whole life, around?

Description: Mort professionnel, fantôme au jeu phénoménal, Stephen McQueen rêve de voir sa carrière d'acteur enfin décoller. Car il le sait, il le sent, c'est lui la star de demain ! Mais passer d'une vie de loser à celle de tête d'affiche est un parcours bien chaotique... Écrit en 2005, un roman drôle, tendre et cynique sur le star-system, et un condensé de tout ce qui a fait le succès de Pourquoi pas ? et d'Un jour. Dans la lignée d'Un jour, une comédie à l'anglaise irrésistible, qui enchaîne chausse-trappes et quiproquos, sur les tribulations amoureuses d'un comédien raté pris dans les mailles d'un star-system impitoyable. La poisse, Stephen McQueen connaît bien. Un divorce mal cicatrisé, une enfant qui le prend de haut, un studio minable dans une banlieue perdue, un CV qui déborde de rôles de figuration muette et inanimée... Pour ce trentenaire londonien, la vie a un goût amer. Pourtant, il le sait, il le sent, il ne lui manque pas grand-chose pour enfin mettre son nom en haut de l'affiche. Et voici que le destin semble lui offrir une chance de révéler son talent. Promu doublure-remplaçant du célébrissime et so sexy Josh Harper, Stephen attend chaque soir l'occasion de jouer les premiers rôles. Mais l'arrogante star n'est pas prête à partager la vedette, et prend même un malin plaisir à tourmenter et humilier ce pauvre Stephen. Alors que ce dernier pensait avoir touché le fond, la fortune place sur son chemin la belle et sensible Nora, la femme de Josh... L'amour ou la gloire, telle est la question.
