Dalva
Pour reprendre le contrôle de sa vie, Dalva s'installe dans le ranch familial du Nebraska et se souvient : l'amour de Duane, les deuils, l'arrachement à ce fils nouveau-né qu'elle cherche obstinément. Meurtrie mais debout, elle découvre l'histoire de sa famille liée à celle du peuple sioux et d'une Amérique violente. Chef-d'œuvre humaniste, Dalva est un hymne à la vie."Le roman des grands espaces : la preuve, par la littérature, que l'on est ce que l'on fait. Une invitation à la sculpture de soi."François Busnel, L'ExpressTraduit de l'anglais (États-Unis)par Brice Matthieussent
La république des faibles
Un premier roman impressionnant de maîtrise et de noirceau, auréolé du Landerneau polar 2021 !Le 1er janvier 1898, un chiffonnier découvre le corps d'un enfant sur les pentes de la Croix Rousse. Très vite, on identifie un gamin des quartiers populaires que ses parents recherchaient depuis plusieurs semaines en vain. Le commissaire Jules Soubielle est chargé de l'enquête dans ce Lyon soumis à de fortes tensions à la veille des élections. S'élèvent les voix d'un nationalisme déchainé, d'un antisémitisme exacerbé par l'affaire Dreyfus et d'un socialisme naissant. Dans le bruissement confus de cette fin de siècle, il faudra à la police pénétrer dans l'intimité de ces ouvriers et petits commerçants, entendre la voix de leurs femmes et de leurs enfants pour révéler les failles de cette république qui clame pourtant qu'elle est là pour défendre les faibles.Avec ce premier polar historique, Gwenaël Bulteau, d'une plume aussi poétique que vibrante, nous fait entendre la clameur d'un monde où la justice peine à imposer ses règles, au détour d'une enquête qui fera tomber les masques un à un.
