Wickham Madeleine

Wickham Madeleine, 2012

From the author of the internationally bestselling Sophie Kinsella novels, Madeleine Wickham's newest novel features a house whose asking price includes a stunning renovation of dreams and hearts... Liz and Jonathan Chambers were stuck with two mortgages, mounting debts and a miserable adolescent daughter. Then Marcus Witherstone came into their lives — and it seemed he would solve all their problems. He knew the perfect tenants from London who would rent their old house: a glamorous PR girl, Ginny, and her almost-famous husband, Piers. But soon Liz is lost in blissful dreams of Marcus, Jonathan is left to run their tutorial college, and neither of them has time to notice that their teenage daughter is developing a passion for the tenants, Piers and Ginny. Everyone is entangled with everyone else, in the most awkward possible way. And as events close in, they all begin to realize that some deceptions are just a bit too close to home. Подробнее

Her wealthy friend Gerard has offered the loan of his luxury villa in Spain — perfect. Hugh is not a happy man.

Un week-end entre amis

Quoi de plus sympathique qu'un week-end à la campagne avec des amis perdus de vue pour évoquer le bon vieux temps? C'est ainsi que les anciens de Seymour Road se retrouvent dans la superbe maison de Patrick et Caroline. Au menu: tennis, cocktails et fonds d'investissement. Sur la pelouse, chacun sort son plus beau jeu: un bronzage satiné, un revers lifté, une enfant surdouée, un projet d'hôtel... Mais les choses vont rapidement tourner au vinaigre. Malgré la joie affichée, les années ont écorché la belle complicité d'autrefois. Pire, cette plongée dans le passé va obliger chacun à comparer sa situation à celle des autres et à ses rêves de jeunesse. Au programme: jeu, set et baffes! Подробнее

40 Love

Wickham Madeleine, 2012

Everyone wins this game of literary tennis, a comedy of manners about envy in which Wickham skewers the nouveau riche. At their country estate, Patrick Chance and his wife host a weekend tennis party. As four couples gather on the sunny terrace, it seems obvious who among them is succeeding, and who is falling behind. But by the end of the party, nothing will be quite as certain. While the couples' children amuse themselves with pony rides and rehearsals for a play, the adults suffer a series of personal revelations and crises. Wickham's nonstop action reveals at every turn that matters may not be as they seem, and in the end one thing is crystal clear: the weekend is about anything but tennis. Подробнее
