    Elles sont sueurs et pourtant aussi différentes que le jour et la nuit. Elinor, étudiante en architecture, est discrète, modeste et trop raisonnable. Marianne est impulsive, passionnée et rêve de devenir artiste. Mais un jour, leurs caractères et leurs certitudes sont mis à rude épreuve. Elinor doit-elle rester stoïque quand l'homme qu'elle aime s'abandonne dans les bras d'une autre ? Et il n'est pas sûr que la foi de Marianne en l'amour survive à sa rencontre avec le célibataire le plus séduisant de la région... Au fil de leurs aventures, les deux jeunes femmes apprennent la vie. Et dans un monde où la vie privée est exposée sur Internet, l'amour a bien du mal à triompher du scandale...

    In this modern re-imagining of a Gothic classic, seventeen-year-old Catherine 'Cat' Morland has lived a sheltered life in rural Dorset, yearning for adventure. When her wealthy neighbors, the Allens, invite her to the Edinburgh Festival, she hopes for excitement. However, her initial experiences are lackluster as Susie Allen is preoccupied with shopping and Andrew Allen with the Fringe. A Highland Dance class introduces Cat to Henry Tilney, a charming gentleman whose family home, Northanger Abbey, intrigues her. She also meets Bella Thorpe, who shares her love for supernatural novels, but Bella's brother John proves to be an annoyance, complicating Cat's feelings for Henry. Fortunately, General Tilney invites Cat to stay at Northanger Abbey with Henry and his sister Eleanor. Cat's imagination runs wild with visions of ancient abbeys, secret chambers, and ghosts, all while dreaming of romance with Henry. However, the reality of life at the abbey is far more unsettling than the fantasies she has conjured, revealing that the world outside her novels can be disturbingly different from the tales she adores.

    Emma: A Modern Retelling

    3,4(1431)Évaluer

    Alexander McCall Smith's gentle satire and cozy, old-fashioned sensibility prove to be the perfect match for Jane Austen's wit and characters. Though carriages have been replaced by Mini Coopers and cups of tea with cappuccinos, Emma is wonderfully timeless. The summer after university, Emma Woodhouse returns home to the village of Highbury, and to the household of her hypochondriac father, who has been living alone on a steady diet of vegetables and vitamin supplements. Cultivating grand plans for the future, she prepares to launch her interior-design business and strike out on her own, but in the meantime turns her attention to the matching of people, rather than fabric patterns. Soon Emma befriends Harriet Smith, the naïve but charming young teacher's assistant at an English-language school run by the hippie-ish Mrs. Goddard. Harriet is Emma's inspiration to do the two things she does best: offer guidance to those less wise in the ways of the world and put her matchmaking skills to good use. Happily, this summer presents abundant opportunities for her to do just that, as many friends, both old and new, are drawn into the sphere of Emma's occasionally injudicious counsel: Frank Churchill, the attractive stepson of Emma's former governess; George Knightley, Emma's brother-in-law and dear friend; the charming yet self-important Philip Elton; and, of course, the perfect (and perfectly vexing) Jane Fairfax.

    THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER 'This is Pride and Prejudice 2.0 and I must confess, I liked it more than the original' STYLIST 'Bold and brilliant' GLAMOUR 'Sheer joy...
