Thomas Leslie Livres
Leslie Thomas est surtout connu pour son best-seller international sur les soldats britanniques en Malaisie. Son écriture s'inspire souvent d'expériences personnelles, y compris sa vie d'enfant dans un orphelinat, qu'il a explorée dans son premier roman. L'œuvre de Thomas capture les expériences de gens ordinaires propulsés dans des circonstances extraordinaires, souvent avec un mélange d'humour et de pathos. Sa narration résonne auprès des lecteurs par sa représentation vivante de la résilience humaine et de l'impact des conflits.
Chloe's Song

The new tale of love and life, rich with humour and pathos, from our best loved storyteller. From the prison cell where Chloe Smith, 43, is awaiting trial for the merciful murder of the only man who ever loved her with honesty, she recalls the men in her life who lied to her. She remembers her adored father, who drank too much; the loss of her virginity at Stonehenge to a schoolboy, her marriage to petty crook Zane Tomkins, the Isle of Wight ferryman who said he was a lonely deep sea sailor, the young priest who said he loved her but left to establish a church for men, or the lighthouse keeper who shouted in his sleep-all these men, and many others, have let Chloe down. Chloe`s Song is the story of one woman`s quest to get what every woman wants-a man who tells the truth.
