The Bride
Summary
The moment Joanna told me she was engaged, I had this awful feeling that something was wrong. We used to speak on the phone every day. Growing up I spent more time at her house than I did at my own. I’d always imagined what it would be like to see her get married, and now I didn’t even know her fiancé’s name. She asked me to come and meet Mark and I intended to tell her to slow down. You can’t know someone for a month and be sure that you want to spend the rest of your lives together. When I got to Joanna’s front door, only Mark was there. He was charming and gorgeous and nothing but nice to me, and I started to understand. And then he told me that Joanna was missing. The Bride is a psychological thriller that will have you listening until late at night. Perfect for fans of The Girl on the Train, Gone Girl and anything by Lisa Jewell.

La vie avant l'homme
Summary
A mi-chemin entre la comédie de mœurs et le drame psychologique, ce roman de la grande dame des lettres canadiennes met à nu l'incessante guerre des sexes que se livrent plusieurs personnages plongés dans un tourbillon de sentiments. Elizabeth, conservatrice dans un musée d'histoire naturelle, femme de pouvoir toute de sensualité maîtrisée et de colère rentrée, collectionne les amants... Nate, son mari, ancien avocat, un rêveur qui adore les enfants, s'est reconverti dans l'artisanat (il crée des jouets en bois dans son garage)... Lesje, jeune paléontologue, se laisse séduire par le charme un peu falot de Nate ; plus accoutumée à l'étude des dinosaures qu'à la complexité des êtres humains, elle songe à "la vie avant l'homme"... Lorsque Chris, l'amant d'Elizabeth, se suicide et que Lesje tombe enceinte, chacun est renvoyé à ses démons. Avec un humour féroce et une douce mélancolie, Atwood pénètre le cœur d'hommes et de femmes dont les aspirations n'arriveront jamais à se joindre : une cinglante anatomie du mariage moderne.
