A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture :

'Tremain is a writer of particular elegance and control, and her story unfolds from its arresting first scene to its luminous final image as gracefully as a ballet' Daily Telegraph

In a silent valley in southern France stands an isolated stone farmhouse, the Mas Lunel. Its owner is Aramon Lunel, an alcoholic haunted by his violent past. His sister, Audrun, alone in her bungalow within sight of the Mas Lunel, dreams of exacting retribution for the unspoken betrayals that have blighted her life. Into this closed world comes Anthony Verey, a wealthy but disillusioned antiques dealer from London seeking to remake his life in France. From the moment he arrives at the Mas Lunel, a frightening and unstoppable series of consequences is set in motion....

'Rose Tremain can write herself across any literary boundary...an intelligent and terrifyingly plausible meditation' Sunday Telegraph

'Timeless but rooted; tangible but otherworldly. Meticulously plotted, with the musty

sadness that comes of cleaving to the past, Trespass will reward your reading time' Scotland on Sunday

'Rose Tremain must surely be one of the most versatile novelists writing today... The scene-setting opening is languorous and beautiful, giving full rein to Tremain's descriptive gifts... a disturbing tale... rich in detail' Daily Express
