A propos du livre

Revue de presse

"The fascination is horrible, the prose addictive, the situation magnificently claustrophobic, the denouement shocking" (Alan Taylor Herald)

"Morrison has created far more than a sinister take on the country-house novel... This is a suspenseful thriller, but more importantly it succeeds as an exceedingly clever investigation into the strangeness of lies" (Christian House Independent on Sunday)

"A compelling psychological thriller that, in parts, will cause you to actually flinch" (Ben Felsenberg Metro)

"Delightfully twisted" (David Mills Esquire)

"This is one achievement among several for Blake Morrison, who has written a novel that is at once artful and naturalistic, restrained and yet suggestive, and faithful to a perspective from which the readers wants to recoil" (Stephen Abell Times Literary Supplement)

Présentation de l'éditeur

Set over a long weekend in East Anglia, this is the chilling story of a rivalrous friendship - as told with deceptive casualness by the narrator, Ian. It opens with a surprise phone call from an old university friend, inviting Ian and his wife, Em, for a few days by the sea. Their hosts, Ollie and Daisy, are a golden couple, and the scene is set for sunlit relaxation.

But dangerous tensions quickly emerge, and in the stifling atmosphere of a remote cottage in the hottest days of summer, Ollie and Ian resurrect a bet made twenty years before. Each day becomes a series of challenges for higher and higher stakes, setting in train actions that will have irreversible consequences.
