A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture

Brenda would be so angry if she saw me talking to these three. She had picked up an expression she loved from Daddy: it only takes one rotten apple to spoil the barrel.

'You see, here's the way it is,' Jenna continued. 'Luke has this thing for younger girls who are obviously inexperienced. He thinks they're fresher or something, like ripe fruit. That's what he says. You should come with us, have a little fun. Whaddya say?'
'I don't know,' I said.
'You know, the rumours are always flying around about your sister,' she said.
'What rumours?' I snapped at her.
'You know,' she repeated, nodding. Some people think it's inherited or something. You're not like that, are you? I mean, you don't like girls more than you do boys?'
'No,' I said, 'and neither does my sister. Those are just ugly, stupid stories.'
'Good. So come along and prove it.'

Quatrième de couverture

April has always felt like an outsider. Her elder sister Brenda is tall, athletic,competitive and sure of herself. April, on the other hand, is short, sensitive and overweight - and she can't bounce back from their father's criticisms the way Brenda can. April doesn't know why their once-loving dad has become a coldhearted monster, but she's sure it has something to do with her. And she hates the way his cruel behaviour is tearing away at their gentle mother.
But a glimmer of happiness emerges when Brenda brings home her college roommate: beautiful, bewitching Celia. And April begins to wonder if she might not be so different from Brenda after all . . .
April Shadows is the first in Virginia Andrews' spellbinding new Shadows series.
