Sophisticated, mature and richly atmospheric, a debut novel about three young people navigating the risks and possibilities of intimacy For fans of André Aciman, Deborah Levy and the Penguin European Writers series Thora, August and Hugo come from different worlds - one an art school dreamer, one a wealthy scion of the old elite, and one an ordinary boy from out of town. But over the course of two sky-blue summers in Stockholm, they are drawn together magnetically. The novel opens years later, when Hugo, long estranged from Thora and August, is visited by their daughter - who has questions about her parents which she believes Hugo can answer - and the memories of those luminous days come flooding back. Modern yet timeless, poignant and euphoric, The Trio is a novel about the path not taken, the people we might have become, and the relationships which shape and haunt us long after they come to a close.

En 1869, John Muir est engagé une saison pour conduire des moutons en transhumance vers la Yosemite Valley. Au cours du voyage, il note tout ce qu’il voit, bavarde avec les bergers, s’enivre de la vie au grand air, de la liberté merveilleuse des campements, le soir. Et plus il monte, plus la nature devient sauvage, plus il est envahi, bouleversé par la beauté du monde. Ce livre, devenu aux États-Unis un classique, a fait de John Muir une légende.

Elles sont sept, sept sœurs aux airs de sauvageonnes. Armées de leurs longues chevelures rousses, de leurs muscles saillants, leurs gestes brusques et joyeuses grossièretés, elles viennent vendre leurs peaux de bêtes au marché. Elles dansent aussi, ivres et flamboyantes, au milieu des hommes qui les sifflent. À part ça, personne ne sait vraiment qui elles sont. Ce sont les filles du chasseur d’ours. On raconte qu’elles passent leurs journées à braconner et à se battre, quand elles ne sont pas en train de se baigner dans une rivière au clair de lune… Pourtant, se profile derrière ces renardes échevelées un récit à nul autre pareil. Une nuit, leur père ne revient pas de la chasse, et les sept filles se retrouvent livrées à elles-mêmes. La forêt, lorsqu’on n’est qu’une bande de gamines jouant aux dures, a des rites d’initiation bien brutaux. La faim et le froid ne sont que peu de choses quand les rapports de force et la violence entrent en jeu – et que la renarde devient louve. Anneli Jordahl dépeint les aventures homériques de sept filles féroces et intrépides et à travers elles la Finlande contemporaine et ses légendes. Un conte féministe venimeux.

"Wonderfully ambitious.... Flournoy explores the complexity of friendship, family, and home in a voice that is expansive yet intimate, humorous yet devastating. I loved this book." — Brit Bennett, author of The Vanishing Half and The Mothers An era-defining novel about five Black women over the course of their twenty-year friendship, as they move through the dizzying and sometimes precarious period between young adulthood and midlife—in the much-anticipated second book from National Book Award finalist Angela Flournoy. Desiree, Danielle, January, Monique, and Nakia are in their early twenties and at the beginning. Of their careers, of marriage, of motherhood, and of big-city lives in New York and Los Angeles. Together, they are finding their way through the wilderness, that period of life when the reality of contemporary adulthood—overwhelming, mysterious, and full of freedom and consequences—swoops in and stays. Desiree and Danielle, sisters whose shared history has done little to prevent their estrangement, nurse bitter family wounds in different ways. January’s got a relationship with a “good” man she feels ambivalent about, even after her surprise pregnancy. Monique, a librarian and aspiring blogger, finds unexpected online fame after calling out the university where she works for its plans to whitewash fraught history. And Nakia is trying to get her restaurant off the ground, without relying on the largesse of her upper middle-class family who wonder aloud if she should be doing something better with her life. As these friends move from the late 2000’s into the late 2020’s, from young adults to grown women, they must figure out what they mean to one another—amid political upheaval, economic and environmental instability, and the increasing volatility of modern American life. The Wilderness is Angela Flournoy’s masterful and kaleidoscopic follow-up to her critically acclaimed debut The Turner House. A generational talent, she captures with disarming wit and electric language how the most profound connections over a lifetime can lie in the tangled, uncertain thicket of friendship.
