Kennedy Douglas

Kennedy Douglas, 2010

Quand Sally rencontre Tony... Ils se sont trouvés. Elle, fonceuse, ambitieuse, prête à tout pour décrocher un scoop. Lui, cynique, élégant, jamais plus à l'aise qu'en zone de guerre. Le journalisme extrême: voilà leur drogue, leur raison de vivre. jusqu'à aujourd'hui. Un seul regard a suffi pour les rendre accroc l'un à l'autre. Inès lors, les événements se précipitent. Un mariage, une maison, un enfant en route... Elle pouponnera, il écrira enfin son roman. Le rêve. Ou presque. Peu à peu, Sally s'enfonce dans la dépression. L'homme qui partage son lit, cet inconnu trop vite épousé, semble cacher bien des vices. Et l'idylle éclatante prend soudain des allures de machination perverse... Подробнее

The Pursuit of Happiness

Kennedy Douglas, 2010

It is Manhattan, Thanksgiving Eve, 1945. The war is over, and Eric Smythe's party was in full swing. All his clever Greenwich Village friends were there. So too, was his sister, Sara — an independent, canny young woman, starting to make her way in the big city. And then in walked a gatecrasher, Jack Malone — U.S Army journalist just back from a defeated Germany, and a man whose world-view did not tally with that of Eric and his friends. This chance meeting between Sara and Jack — and the choices they both made in the wake of it — would eventually have profound consequences, both for themselves and for those closest to them. And the effect of their actions would reverberate within their families for decades afterwards. Set amidst the dynamic optimism of postwar New York and the subsequent nightmare of the McCarthy witch-hunts, The Pursuit of Happiness is a great tragic love story; a tale of divided loyalties, decisive moral choices and the random workings of destiny.

Five Days

Kennedy Douglas, 2013

Laura is in the throes of a midlife crisis. Her twenty year marriage has flatlined and her husband, Dan, has become a stranger to her since losing his job eighteen months ago. So when she is invited to a weekend conference in Boston, she jumps at the opportunity. While checking in she gets talking with a man she immediately characterises as grey and uninspired. His name is Richard Coleman. He's a fifty something insurance salesman, also from Maine, also in Boston for the weekend. But when a chance meeting later that evening brings them together again, Laura begins to discover another man beneath the salesman facade: smart, animated and surprisingly literate. Two lonely people meet by chance in a city not their own. Two people desperate for a connection, yet terrified of the implications. In his remarkable new novel, Douglas Kennedy takes the premise of a brief encounter and turns it into a hugely compelling exploration of how and why we fall in love, and the way in which the entire trajectory of a life can change thanks to the music of chance. A profoudly moving love story that inspires tears and serious rumination, Five Days speaks directly to the manifold contradictions of the human heart. Подробнее
