Ils l'ont souillée, tondue, marquée. Pourtant, elle était parfaitement innocente ; mais c'était durant l'été 1944 en Corrèze, au temps des règlements de comptes expéditifs.

Virginie n'a pas sombré dans la folie, mais la neige glacée de l'amnésie a enseveli son passé.
Elle fuit. Elle ne sait plus qui elle est.

Pour les mineurs polonais de Saint-Étienne qui la recueillent, elle est Anna. Elle est Anna encore pour Aristide, le fantastique saltimbanque, qui lui fait une place dans son car déglingué entre son ours et ses chiens savants.

Au fil des mois et des années, au feu de la tendresse et de l'amour, la neige fond. Anna retrouve la mémoire : son nom, Virginie, ceux de ses enfants, Pascal et Jacques. Elle renaît, mais c'est en tremblant qu'elle s'approche de ce passé resurgi et de ce présent inconnu : ses fils sont devenus adultes?

"Joy, veux-tu être ma femme ?"
"Oui, je le veux !", a répondu Joy à Guillaume avec une ferveur égale à la profondeur de l'amour qu'elle lui porte.
Et pourtant, le soir même du mariage, alors que la fête bat son plein, Joy s'évanouit dans la nature.
Guillaume, d'abord fou d'inquiétude puis ravagé par le doute, se perd en conjectures. La gendarmerie n'a rien trouvé de suspect, il semble que la mariée aurait elle-même décidé de partir.
Quand le prêtre qui les a unis lui dévoile la vérité, Guillaume est effondré. Car cette révélation, si elle témoigne d'un courage et d'une générosité sans pareils, remet en cause toutes ses certitudes d'amoureux passionné.
Pourra-t-il pardonner à Joy de lui avoir caché ses tourments... et aura-t-il la force de lui tendre la main ?

Mais entre leurs stages en psychiatrie et en neurochirurgie, les nombreuses gardes à effectuer, les apéros au « Gobe-mouches » et les fêtes carabines, leur histoire d'amour n'est pas un long fleuve tranquille.

Marie-Lou apprendra-t-elle à laisser glisser le sable entre ses doigts ?

Son nouvel album, c'est Camille qui en parle le mieux : "Je voulais faire un disque protestataire. Je voulais dire Non. Et voilà que je dis OUï. Dans OUï il y a tout : la rondeur du O. l'ouverture du U. la droiture du ï. Tout ce que je souhaite dire, être et devenir. Aucun obstacle au chant des voyelles, au battement du cour, du OU au ï, de l'obscurité à la lumière, du grave à l'aigu, de la terre aux nues, du tambour à la voix, de lui à moi. Et au bout du labeur le ï tout OUï et ses deux poings levés vers le ciel" (Camille).

4 ans après leur 1er album "If you wait", le trio London Grammar formé de Hannah Reid, Dot Major & Daniel Rothman , est de retour avec "Truth is a beautiful thing".

After receiving a call from the newly appointed chief of the New Mexico State Police, ex-Santa Fe chief of detectives Kevin Kerney is thrown into an investigation of a small-town cop-killing no one has been able to solve. His only lead: a homeless schizophrenic's ramblings about rape and an uncharted place called Serpent Gate.

Meanwhile, back in Santa Fe, priceless art is stolen from the governor's offices and a beautiful young blonde is murdered in a millionaire's mansion. Kerney follows a trail of clues to Mexico, where he faces off against an old nemesis with powerful government connections. Unwilling to back down, Kerney must use all of his tenacity, raw courage, and knowledge of the criminal mind in a bloody showdown that may cost him his life.

They're behind bars, but that won't stop them committing crimes.
And it won't keep them safe, either.

Trumble is a minimum security federal prison, home to drug dealers, bank robbers, swindlers, embezzlers, tax evaders - and three former judges who call themselves The Brethren.

The Brethren meet each day in the law library, where they spend hours writing letters. They're fine-tuning a mail scam, and it's starting to pay big. The money is pouring in.

But when their little scam goes awry and ensnares the wrong victim, a powerful man on the outside, they realise they're in trouble. Because this man has dangerous friends, and just as the prison failed to protect society from the Brethren, it won't protect them from their victims...

From her secret perch at the top of the stairs, seven-year-old Gabriella watches the guests arrive at her parents' lavish Manhattan home. The click, click click of her mother's high heels strikes terror into her heart, as she has been told that she is to blame for her mother's rage - and her father's failure to protect her. Her world is a confusing blend of terror, betrayal and pain, and Gabriella knows that there is no safe place for her to hide.

When her parents' marriage collapses, her father disappears and her mother abandons her to a convent, where Gabriella's battered body and soul begin to mend amid the quiet safety and hushed rituals of the nuns. And when she grows into womanhood, young Father Joe Connors comes into her life. Like Gabriella, Joe is haunted by the pain of his childhood, and with her he takes the first steps towards healing. But their relationship leads to disaster as Joe must choose between the priesthood and Gabriella. She struggles to survive on her own in New York, where she seeks escape through her writing, until eventually she is able to find forgiveness, freedom from guilt, and healing from abuse.

In this work of daring and compassion, Danielle Steel has created a vivid portrait of an abused child's broken world which will shock and move you to your very soul.
