Douglas Kennedy

Sally Goodchild es todo lo que cabría esperar de una periodista estadounidense de treinta y siete años: independiente, fuerte y ambiciosa. Hasta que conoce a Tony Hobbs, un corresponsal inglés en una mision en El Cairo. Tras un romance apasionado, la vida de Sally se trastorna por completo; de pronto se encuentra inesperadamente casada, embarazada y viviendo en Londres.La relacion transforma la libertad y la aventura en responsabilidades y trabajo extenuante, y convierte los problemas cotidianos de la pareja en una autentica pesadilla. Despues del nacimiento de su hijo, Sally cae en una espiral de depresion posparto, mientras que la vida de Tony vuelve a una relativa normalidad. Resentida e incapaz de hacer frente a los cambios que se han producido en su vida, Sally se encuentra con que el hombre en el que confiaba por encima de todo se ha vuelto en su contra, y amenaza incluso con arrebatarle lo que mas le importa: su hijo.Este libro es la historia y el reflejo de muchas relaciones complejas: la de un hombre y una mujer, una pareja, unos amigos puestos a prueba, un paciente con sus cuidadores, un cliente con su abogado... y, por encima de todo, la relacion especial de una madre con su hijo. "Una historia que cautiva, emocionante e inteligente". The Times"No recuerdo un libro tan excitante". Daily Telegraph"Una vez mas, el autor de En busca de la felicidad consigue su objetivo: la abstraccion del lector". Vogue"Extranamente feroz". Le Parisien"Una novela psicologica con un suspense estremecedor [] Una delicia". Le Figaro"Kennedy se desliza majestuosamente entre el amor a primera vista y el arrepentimiento, personajes entrañables e intriga implacable". Cosmopolitan

America in the Sixties is an era of radical upheaval - of civil rights protests and anti-war marches; of sexual liberation and hallucinogenic drugs. More tellingly, it was a time when you weren''t supposed to trust anyone over the age of thirty; when, if you were young, you rebelled against your parents and their conservative values. But not Hannah Buchan. Hannah is a great disappointment to her famous radical father and painter mother. Because instead of mounting the barricades and embracing this age of profound social change, she wants nothing more than to marry her doctor boyfriend and raise a family in a small town. Hannah gets her wish. But once installed as the doctor''s wife in a nowhere corner of Maine, boredom sets in ...until an unforeseen moment of personal rebellion changes everything. Especially as Hannah is forced into breaking the law. For decades, this one transgression in an otherwise faultless life remains buried. But then, in the charged atmosphere of America after 9/11, her secret comes out and her life goes into freefall.

But a devastating turn of events takes the decision out of her hands in a way she could never have predicted. Her familiar world torn apart, Jane feels forced to leave her old life behind. She resigns from her job, cuts all ties with friends and family and moves to a place where no one will find her. Isolated, she feels she has finally succeeded in leaving her world.

Though much has been written about the political implications of the religious revival which has engulfed America in recent years, a question remains unanswered: what pushes its people into declaring for Jesus?Douglas Kennedy spent a long hot summer cruising through that expanse of the American South known as The Bible Belt exploring that question. In a remarkable journey into one of the strangest corners of the United States, Kennedy finds himself spending time in Miami with a one-time member of the Mafia turned charismatic preacher, discovering Christian heavy metal music in Nashville, and visiting Death Row in South Carolina with an evangelist who ministers to the condemned.Repeatedly discovering the extraordinary within the ordinary, IN GODS COUNTRY is a profound, yet brilliantly entertaining exploration of life in late twentieth century America.

Le bonheur nest-il quun instant fugace ? Sommes-nous les victimes ou bien les artisans de notre infortune ? Pourquoi le pardon est-il (hélas !) lunique solution ? Le bonheur nest-il fait que de moments ? Le piege le plus hermetique nest-il pas celui dans lequel nous nous enfermons nous-memes ? Reecrire notre histoire la rend-elle plus supportable ? La tragedie est-elle le prix a payer pour notre existence ? Pourquoi le pardon est-il malheureusement la seule et unique option ? Dans la vie comme dans le patinage, tout nest-il pas toujours quune question dequilibre ?
