1940. La France capitule, les bombes pleuvent sur Londres, et le pr�sident Roosevelt promet d'�pargner � ses boys une guerre qui ne les concerne pas. Pourtant, la journaliste Frankie Bard, qui couvre le Blitz pour la radio am�ricaine, ne veut rien tant que sensibiliser ses compatriotes au conflit. Dans un petit village du cap Cod, deux femmes �coutent les r�cits poignants de la reporter: Iris James, la receveuse des postes dont l'amant guette une offensive sous-marine allemande, et Emma Fitch, jeune �pouse d'un m�decin id�aliste parti soigner les victimes des bombardements. Entre le continent �pargn� et celui d�chir� par la guerre, les destins de ces trois femmes s'entrem�lent. Ils se lient au sort des populations pilonn�es par la Luftwaffe, � celui des Juifs qui sillonnent les routes en qu�te d'un improbable refuge, � celui des hommes qu'elles aiment. � Si vous recevez cette lettre est de ces grands livres qui vous manquent sit�t que vous les refermez. J'y pensais sans cesse, j'�tais nostalgique d'une �poque que je n'ai pas connue. C'est un roman magnifiquement �crit, �difiant .� Katrhryn Stockett, auteur de La Couleur des sentiments
