Sally Wentworth Livres

"Quel fil rouge peut lier les unes aux autres des nouvelles aussi différentes que Bligh Manor et Le prix de l'amour, Une résurrection et Hélène de Sparte ? Aucun je crois, sinon que l'auteur est le même qui joue avec la seule règle de la nouvelle : elle doit raconter une histoire. C'est là un petit jeu, souvent acrobatique puisqu'il faut retomber sur ses pieds en un temps relativement court. En dehors de cette règle, la nouvelle a droit à autant de liberté, dans la forme et le fond, que le roman. Les nouvelles qui composent ce recueil reflètent les sautes d'humeur d'une imagination et le bon plaisir de l'auteur qui s'improvise témoin amusé ou ému, acteur qui dit "je" pour mieux se dissimuler, détective ou même historien de la plus belle des fables, la mythologie grecque." Michel Déon.

Wary of men since her tumultuous love affair with Luis, Carina did not relish the idea of returning to Portugal, in need of her estranged husband's help to find her younger sister. They had parted in anger, and with no word from Luis in nearly five years, Carina no longer blamed their separation on parental disapproval and interference. What they had called love must surely have been youthful infatuation. Or, at most, a purely pleasurable sexual relationship. So, cool and aloof was the way to approach Luis again, for heaven forbid that those longings return!

Adrift in the Caribbean, wrecked against a reef, stranded alone on an island with someone who called himself Mike Scott--Samantha tried desperately to recall the events that had brought her to such an impasse.
