Une lettre de vous - Letters from Skye - French Edition
Author: Jessica Brockmole, Valerie Bourgeois (Translator)

Mars 1912. La jeune et obscure poétesse Elspeth Dunn ne connaît d’autres horizons que celui de l’île de Skye, au large de l’Ecosse. Aussi est-elle à la fois étonnée et ravie de recevoir sa première lettre de fan de David Graham, un étudiant originaire de la lointaine Am&eacu... more »te;rique. Tous deux entament alors une correspondance. Ils se confient leurs auteurs préférés, leurs espoirs les plus fous et leurs secrets les plus chers. Très vite, cet échange épistolaire donne naissance à une amitié profonde qui a tout d’un amour inavoué. Mais lorsque la Première Guerre Mondiale éclate et que David se porte volontaire comme ambulancier, Elspeth ne peut que l’attendre sur son île en espérant qu’il survivra, à moins de forcer le destin…

Juillet 1940, Edimbourg est bombardé. Dans l’appartement familial dévasté, Margaret découvre des dizaines de lettres adressées à une certaine Sue. Le lendemain, sa mère a disparu et il lui reste pour seul indice une unique lettre d’amour. En partant à sa recherche, Margaret va petit à petit lever le voile sur les mystères qui entourent sa famille et ce père dont on refuse de lui parler.

A sweeping story told in letters, spanning two continents and two world wars, Jessica Brockmole’s atmospheric debut novel captures the indelible ways that people fall in love, and celebrates the power of the written word to stir the heart.

March 1912: Twenty-four-year-old Elspeth Dunn, a published poet, has never seen the world beyond her home on Scotland’s remote Isle of Skye. So she is astonished when her first fan letter arrives, from a college student, David Graham, in far-away America. As the two strike up a correspondence—sharing their favorite books, wildest hopes, and deepest secrets—their exchanges blossom into friendship, and eventually into love. But as World War I engulfs Europe and David volunteers as an ambulance driver on the Western front, Elspeth can only wait for him on Skye, hoping he’ll survive.

June 1940: At the start of World War II, Elspeth’s daughter, Margaret, has fallen for a pilot in the Royal Air Force. Her mother warns her against seeking love in wartime, an admonition Margaret doesn’t understand. Then, after a bomb rocks Elspeth’s house, and letters that were hidden in a wall come raining down, Elspeth disappears. Only a single letter remains as a clue to Elspeth’s whereabouts. As Margaret sets out to discover where her mother has gone, she must also face the truth of what happened to her family long ago.
