La jeune Flora MacKenzie travaille à Londres dans un cabinet d'avocats. Jamais elle n'avait imaginé que son emploi la conduirait à retourner sur son île natale, au nord de l'Écosse. Une île qu'elle a brutalement quittée après la mort de sa mère, quelques années plus tôt.
La jeune femme sent très vite qu'elle n'y est pas la bienvenue. La plupart des habitants du village considèrent cette « fille de la ville » comme une étrangère, et les non-dits de l'histoire familiale compliquent les relations avec son père et ses frères. Jusqu'au jour où Flora tombe par hasard sur le vieux cahier de pâtisserie de sa mère. Et si elle avait trouvé la recette pour se réconcilier avec ceux qui l'entourent ?

Née dans une famille d'illustres pilotes des Highlands, Morag MacIntyre a toujours su qu'elle passerait sa vie dans les nuages : un rêve détruit par un accident traumatisant qui l'empêche désormais de monter dans un cockpit. Mais quand son grand-père malade lui demande de gérer MacIntyre Air le temps de son rétablissement, elle accepte de reprendre les commandes de Dolly, le vieil avion à hélice familial, pour assurer les livraisons dont dépendent les habitants d'un petit archipel au large de l'Écosse.
Malgré sa peur, elle renoue peu à peu avec la joie de voler, jusqu'au jour où une terrible tempête l'oblige à atterrir sur une île isolée qui compte pour seul habitant un ornithologue solitaire. Morag va devoir cohabiter avec cet homme bourru le temps que les secours arrivent. Et l'attente pourrait être très longue... Lire la suite Fermer

A taste of summer escapism

« Luke est plutôt... renfermé comme on dit. Il n'est pas... il est simplement dans son monde. Un peu distrait. Un peu bizarre. Mais pour un mathématicien, pas tant que ça, en fait. » Mathématicienne excellant dans un domaine masculin, Connie a toujours été considérée comme un peu bizarre. Mais jamais autant que Luke, recruté pour travailler à ses côtés sur un projet de décryptage top secret.

Mais Luke semble en savoir plus que Connie et ses confrères sur le mystérieux code. Pendant que tout le monde s'interroge sur ses liens avec ce message crypté aux origines non identifiées, leur employeur est tué d'une manière... singulière, et les services secrets s'en mêlent. Connie découvre que Luke n'est sans doute pas celui qu'il prétend être, mais leur confinement fait naître quelque chose en elle... Il n'aurait pu y avoir plus mauvais timing, maintenant que les deux scientifiques sont embarqués dans une course effrénée pour sauver... la Terre.



« Je n'aurais jamais pensé que je pourrais apprécier un livre sur les maths, les amphibiens et la fin du monde. C'est original, drôle et romantique. Et vous n'avez même pas besoin d'être calés en fractales. » Sophie Kinsella, auteure de L'Accro du shopping « Il est très rare que je tombe à ce point amoureuse d'un livre... Brillant, charmant, intelligent, drôle et émouvant. » Rowan Coleman, auteure d'Avant de t'oublier « Un cocktail détonnant d'action, de geeks matheux et de baisers passionnés. J'ai savouré chaque page de ce livre. » Matt Haig, auteur de Humains « De la science-fiction avec des personnages féminins dignes de ce nom ! » MadmoiZelle Mot de l'éditeur :

Parsemé de références geeks, ce roman hybride entre science-fiction et chick lit, le genre qui a rendu Jenny Colgan célèbre, fait la part belle à des personnages aussi colorés qu'attachants. L'autodérision est bien présente, ainsi que les clichés sur les scientifiques, démontés les uns après les autres. Le ton est déjanté et résolument original : humour cynique, romance légère et mathématiques abordables, l'addition parfaite pour un roman audacieux, haletant et à mourir de rire.

Everyone knows her life story.
But who will win her heart?

Gertie has always had her head in the clouds, wondering what her life might be like if she could only pluck up the courage to leave the remote Scottish island where she was born.

It''s the only place she knows, but you can''t do anything there without everyone knowing - the glue of this close-knit community is the Knitting Circle, a group of strong, capable and frankly nosy women who work hard, gossip, knit and support each other through thick and thin. At the centre of this sisterhood is Gertie''s mum Jean and her grandmother Elspeth, and the three generations of women live together, surrounded by wool, in one small cottage.

When the chance comes to make changes - a new job working with old schoolfriend Morag on the local airline, new friends and even a possible new romance - a world of possibilities opens up before Gertie. Is this the way to make her dreams come true?

Fifteen million copies sold. A readership that spans the world. It''s time to fall in love with Jenny Colgan.
