Rosemary Rogers

    7 décembre 1932 – 12 novembre 2019

    Rosemary Rogers était une auteure dont les romans grandioses étaient réputés pour leur intensité et leur passion. Ses œuvres puisaient souvent dans son expérience personnelle, depuis une enfance privilégiée au Sri Lanka jusqu'à ses luttes pour l'autosuffisance en Californie. Elle écrivait sur des héroïnes qui étaient, en essence, elle-même, et dont les histoires reflétaient ses propres désirs de culture, d'esprit et de sexe. Sa capacité à capturer la puissance de l'émotion a fait d'elle une légende dans le genre de la romance historique.

    • Le cadre: celui de la très riche bourgeoisie américaine. Pour le reste, un roman érotique dont le titre, sans doute, est suffisamment explicite.
