Pr�sentation de l'�diteur :

The collapse of her brief marriage has stalled Bea Nightingale's life, leaving her middle-aged and alone, teaching in an impoverished borough of 1950s New York. A plea from her estranged brother gives Bea the excuse to escape lassitude by leaving for Paris to retrieve a nephew she barely knows; but the siren call of Europe threatens to deafen Bea to the dangers of entangling herself in the lives of her brother's family. The story of Bea's travails on the continent is a fierce and heartbreaking insight into the curious nature of love: how it can be commanded and abused; earned and cherished; or even lost altogether. This recording is unabridged. Typically abridged audiobooks are not more than 60% of the author's work and as low as 30% with characters and plotlines removed.

Revue de presse :

'It would take an accomplished voice to rewrite James's tale, and the Pulitzer Prize and Booker International shortlistee Cynthia Ozick fits the bill' --The Independent

'It would be a mistake not to read this wonderful novel' --The Telegraph

'Foreign Bodies is a nimble, entertaining literary homage, but it is also, chillingly, what James would have called the real thing' --New York Times
