Présentation de l'éditeur
À 31 ans, Élise vit recluse dans son chagrin. Quelle idée saugrenue a eue son mari de mourir sans prévenir alors qu'elle était enceinte de leur premier enfant ? Depuis ce jour, son fils est la seule chose qui la tienne en vie, ou presque. Dans le quartier parisien où tout lui rappelle la présence de l'homme de sa vie, elle cultive sa solitude au gré de routines farouchement entretenues : les visites au cimetière le mardi, les promenades au square avec son petit garçon, les siestes partagées l'après-midi... Pourtant, quand sa vieille voisine Manou lui tend les clés de sa maison sur la côte atlantique, Élise consent à y délocaliser sa tristesse. À Pornic, son appétit de solitude va vite se trouver contrarié : un colocataire inattendu s'invite à la villa, avec lequel la jeune femme est contrainte de cohabiter.
Biographie de l'auteur
A 36 ans, Marion McGuinness est autrice et traductrice pour différentes maisons d'édition. Egarer la tristesse est son premier roman.

Descirption: Set in North Carolina in 1960 and brimming with authenticity and grit, The Moonshiner's Daughter evokes the singular life of sixteen-year-old Jessie Sasser, a young woman determined to escape her family's past . . .
Generations of Sassers have made moonshine in the Brushy Mountains of Wilkes County, North Carolina. Their history is recorded in a leather-bound journal that belongs to Jessie Sasser's daddy, but Jessie wants no part of it. As far as she's concerned, moonshine caused her mother's death a dozen years ago.
Her father refuses to speak about her mama, or about the day she died. But Jessie has a gnawing hunger for the truth-one that compels her to seek comfort in food. Yet all her self-destructive behavior seems to do is feed what her college's gruff but compassionate nurse describes as the "monster" inside Jessie.
Resenting her father's insistence that moonshining runs in her veins, Jessie makes a plan to destroy the...

Descirption: Partly on the strength of their apparent success in insurgencies such as Malaya and Northern Ireland, the British armed forces have long been perceived as world class, if not world beating. However, their recent performance in Iraq and Afghanistan is widely seen as-at best-disappointing; under British control Basra degenerated into a lawless city riven with internecine violence, while tactical mistakes and strategic incompetence in Helmand Province resulted in heavy civilian and military casualties and a climate of violence and insecurity. In both cases the British were eventually and humiliatingly bailed out by the US army.In this thoughtful and compellingly readable book, Frank Ledwidge examines the British involvement in Iraq and Afghanistan, asking how and why it went so wrong. With the aid of copious research, intervie with senior officers, and his own personal experiences, he looks in detail at the failures of strategic thinking and culture that led to...

Descirption: Lion Rampant is a set of rules designed for fighting historical or Hollywood battles in the medieval period from the Norman Conquest to the Hundred Years' War. This period is well suited to large skirmish gaming as played with Lion Rampant as it was a time of anarchy, feuds, robbery, and raiding. Become Robin Hood, Richard the Lionheart, Gamelyn, William Wallace, Llewellyn the Last, or other legends and leaders from the colorful, dangerous medieval period.
Lion Rampant is ideal for players who wish to collect medieval miniatures without wanting to muster huge forces or spend time learning complex rules.
Gameplay is very simple, and requires the player to use units in the correct tactical way: knights are great at charging down enemies but less useful for guarding convoys, while spearmen are jacks of all trades and masters of none, and bowmen are to be feared at distance but easily cut down if you can get close enough. An army usually consists of 6-8...
