Title : The Guest Room - James Lasdun - book
Summary :
Another one of those books that "you can't stop turning the pages, until you reach an incredible conclusion"? Well, for once, it's true! Joyce Carol Oates
Between Françoise Sagan and Patricia Highsmith, a deliciously perverse closed-door encounter!
Imagine a dream setting : a luxurious summer residence in the middle of the mountains.
Place one there trio of troubled characters : Charlie, a wealthy New York banker, his wife Chloe and Matthew, Charlie's cousin, a cook whose life is going a bit adrift.
The scene is set, the pieces are on the chessboard. To say more would be criminal.
Passion, drama, betrayal, adultery, murder: nothing will be missing from your pleasure.
With this painting of a bourgeois couple who, beneath perfect appearances, conceal many secrets and lies, James Lasdun evokes both the worlds of Françoise Sagan , of Claude Chabrol and of Patricia Highsmith . Suffice to say that the suspense , L' intelligence and the pleasure are at the rendezvous of this novel with multiple twists and turns, where each person is both guilty and a victim of their deepest nature. A delight.
