Le mot de POP LIVRE
Presque quatre cents pages qui filent : sept ou huit heures, souvent moins, parce que les dialogues portent tout. Lecture parfaite pour un train, une plage ou une convalescence, et très bon choix de club de lecture, tant les personnages donnent envie d'en débattre. Attention toutefois : sous la comédie, il est question de désespoir, et les premières pages peuvent heurter qui traverse un moment sombre. Ailleurs, le mélange de drôlerie et de tendresse fait le travail.
Présentation
Phoebe Stone arrives, alone and at her lowest, at a grand Newport hotel that turns out to be entirely booked for one extravagant wedding. An unexpected, brutally honest conversation with the high-strung bride upends both their plans — and Phoebe's sense of what her life could still be. Alison Espach's The Wedding People became a runaway 2024 favourite and book-club sensation, balancing sharp comedy with genuine tenderness about despair, friendship and second chances. Warm, witty and surprisingly moving, it turns a single weekend into a story about choosing to stay. A feel-good novel with real emotional weight, perfect for readers who like to laugh and cry on the same page.
