The Velveteen Rabbit

Alice Dickinson a 23 ans et veut bâtir sa vie mais, loin d'un père insaisissable, elle ne sait pas qui elle est. Surgit une grand-mère inconnue qui dévoile le passé familial, révèle l'héroïsme de ses aïeux et leur apprentissage de la vie, et ouvre à la jeune fille un avenir plus vaste.
Du débarquement de Dieppe en 1942 à l'état-major de Lord Mountbatten pendant la décolonisation des Indes, des champs de bananiers de la Jamaïque aux vignobles du Languedoc en 1950, William Nicholson tisse une histoire d'amitié et d'amour. Une passion à trois dans laquelle le coeur ne se raisonne pas et ne vieillit jamais.
Un temps pour les héros au coeur pur. La beauté de Kitty, conductrice dans l'armée puis gardienne du foyer, qui retrouve trois ans plus tard, la guerre finie, un mari qu'elle ne reconnaît plus. L'exigence d'Ed, le commando de marine décoré de la Victoria Cross, qui veut vivre comme une flèche en vol et qui a du mal à renouer avec une «?vie normale?». La sensibilité de Larry, l'ami fidèle, qui veut faire de sa vie quelque chose de noble et de bien.
Avec son génie de conteur et son intelligence aiguë, William Nicholson embarque le lecteur aux confins de l'empire et au coeur de l'homme. Une interrogation sur le courage, l'amour, la bonté et la quête ininterrompue du sens à donner à la vie.

Mère patrie

The people of Aramanth have been enslaved by the army of the Mastery, led by Marius Ortiz. If they disobey their masters, a member of their community is burned in an iron cage before their eyes. Only Kestrel Hath, daughter of Ira and Hanno Hath, escapes the armies and rescues the silver voice from the burnt wind singer. Following the instinctive call of her twin brother Bowman across the desert, Kestrel meets Sisi, the spoilt Johdila engaged by her parents to Marius Ortiz. Kestrel becomes Sisi's closest friend and begins to open her eyes to another world. Bowman, who has been training his mind to move objects, has also caught the attention of Marius and has been engaged as his 'truth teller'. Their friend Mumpo has been perfecting the art of the killing dance of the Mastery, the manaxa, and finally kills the city's champion. In a whirlwind climax, Bowman comes face to face with the Master himself and the terrifying Morah is once again unleashed. The Hath family, and those that believe the words of the prophetess Ira Hath, leave the Mastery and begin a journey to the homeland.
