A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture :

BACK COVER
PRAISE FOR AMERICAN RUST:
'A startlingly mature and impressive debut' Kate Atkinson
'A new American master is born … The best book to come out of America since The Road'
Chris Cleave
'In racing terms it's by Of Mice and Men, out of Huckleberry Finn, ridden by Cormac McCarthy, and trained by Salinger and Kerouac … terrifically impressive'
Sunday Telegraph
'Meyer's triumph isn't simply that of a storyteller, although he is masterful ... It is primarily the ability to occupy minds, twisting from character to character, allowing their thoughts to animate action and bring it dazzlingly to life'
New Statesman

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Part epic of Texas, part classic coming-of-age story, part unflinching portrait of the bloody price of power, The Son is an utterly transporting novel that maps the legacy of violence in the American West through the lives of the McCulloughs, an ambitious family as resilient and dangerous as the land they claim.
Love, honour, children are sacrificed in the name of ambition, as the family becomes one of the richest powers in Texas, a dynasty of unsurpassed wealth and privilege. Yet, like all empires, the McCulloughs must eventually face the consequences of their choices.
