Title: The Little Boyfriend - Donna Tartt - book Summary : The literary event of the 2003 back-to-school season. Donna Tartt returns after a 10-year absence! A drama about family, guilt, and revenge, moved to the world of children's literature and evoking the literature of the Old American South. A dark novel that blends the whimsy of Mark Twain with the charm of Carson McCullers and the darkness of William Faulkner... Here it is at last, the highly anticipated new novel from the author of Master of Illusions, a worldwide bestseller. In a small Mississippi town, Harriet Cleve Dufresnes grows up in the shadow of her brother. When she was still a baby, he was found dead, hanging from a tree in the garden. His murderer was never identified, and despite the passing years, the family has never recovered from the tragedy. For Harriet, who, mostly left to her own devices, lives in a fantasy world, her brother represents a link to a glorious past she knows only from stories and photographs glimpsed in picture books. Fiercely determined, remarkably precocious for her twelve years, and steeped in the adventure literature of Stevenson, Kipling, and Conan Doyle, she decides one summer to find the murderer and exact her revenge. Her only ally in this quest, her friend Hely, is devoted to her. But what they discover is far removed from their childhood games: it is a dark adult world, full of threats, where, outside the family intimacy, lurk enlightened preachers, criminals, drug traffickers... A picture of family nostalgia and grief, The boyfriend explores the world of crime and punishment. With its exceptional narrative power, this second novel undoubtedly confirms the sparkling talent of its author. " The boyfriend confirms the range of Donna Tartt's talents, and even amplifies them. This book reflects an enormous talent." New York Observer " The boyfriend is as good, and perhaps even better, than Tartt's first novel." The Sun, London "As the story moves toward its climax, Tartt's genius for suspense resurfaces: the final sequence, masterfully executed, takes your breath away. His writing flows: it is magnificent, visual, and erudite." The Times, London EAN: 9782259198172 Used book at low prices The book matches the photo See the different states
