Description
"Annie O'Neill, 31 ans, est une jeune fille discrète. Elle tient une petite librairie en plein cœur de Manhattan, fréquentée par quelques clients aussi solitaires et marginaux qu'elle. Son existence est bouleversée par la visite d'un nommé Forrester, qui se présente comme un très bon ami de ses parents, qu'elle n'a pratiquement pas connus. L'homme est venu lui remettre un manuscrit. Celui-ci raconte l'histoire d'un certain Haim Kruszwica, adopté par un soldat américain lors de la libération de Dachau, devenu ensuite une des grandes figures du banditisme new-yorkais. Quel rapport avec l'histoire intime d'Annie? Et pourquoi le dénommé Forrester est-il si réticent à lui avouer la vérité? Lorsqu'elle lui sera enfin dévoilée, celle-ci sera plus inattendue et incroyable que tout ce qu'elle a pu imaginer."--,goodreads.com.
Description
"Annie O'Neill, 31, runs a small bookstore in Manhattan. Her life is turned upside down by the visit of a man named Forrester, who claims to be a good friend of her parents. The man came to give her a manuscript. The manuscript tells the story of Haim Kruszwica, adopted by an American soldier during the liberation of Dachau, who later became an active gangster in New York. What does this have to do with Annie? And why is Forrester so reluctant to tell her the truth? When it is finally unveiled, it will be more unexpected and incredible than anything she could imagine."--,Cataloger's summary.
