William Nicholson Livres

Un huis-clos dans le milieu de la bourgeoisie du Sussex... On retrouve ici le style propre de W. Nicholson, son sens de la description, sa maîtrise des dialogues, son regard aiguisé sans concession mais sans jugement sur ses personnages. "En réfléchissant sur le couple, sur la peur d'aimer ou d'être abandonné, William Nichoison nous parle de nous-mêmes. Il le fait avec tant de justesse, tant d'authenticité, que l'émotion nous submerge bien des fois." Version femina "Un tourbillon de personnages et de destins croisés, dans une comédie hypertonique." Madame Figaro
