In her best-selling debut, Commencement, J. Courtney Sullivan explored the complicated and contradictory landscape of female friendship. Now, in her highly anticipated second novel, Sullivan takes us into even richer territory, introducing four unforgettable women who have nothing in common but the fact that, like it or not, they’re family.
For the Kellehers, Maine is a place where children run in packs, showers are taken outdoors, and old Irish songs are sung around a piano. Their beachfront property, won on a barroom bet after the war, sits on three acres of sand and pine nestled between stretches of rocky coast, with one tree bearing the initials “A.H.” At the cottage, built by Kelleher hands, cocktail hour follows morning mass, nosy grandchildren snoop in drawers, and decades-old grudges simmer beneath the surface.
As three generations of Kelleher women descend on the property one summer, each brings her own hopes and fears. Maggie is thirty-two and pregnant, waiting for the perfect moment to tell her imperfect boyfriend the news; Ann Marie, a Kelleher by marriage, is channeling her domestic frustration into a dollhouse obsession and an ill-advised crush; Kathleen, the black sheep, never wanted to set foot in the cottage again; and Alice, the matriarch at the center of it all, would trade every floorboard for a chance to undo the events of one night, long ago.
By turns wickedly funny and achingly sad, Maine unveils the sibling rivalry, alcoholism, social climbing, and Catholic guilt at the center of one family, along with the abiding, often irrational love that keeps them coming back, every summer, to Maine and to each other.

LÉGO une compagnie fiable. Le 22 décembre je reçois cette boite qui devait contenir deux ''Microworld'' elle semble avoir été ouverte et refermée avec du tape, j'avais commandé The Village pour Zachary et The Nether pour Mathieu - Le Village n'était plus dans la boite ... disparu. Dilemne!! Mathieu a eu son Microworld et Zachary..........j'ai téléphone à la compagnie Légo à Toronto ... vraiment formidable de communiquer avec des gens aimables, en réalité c'était ma parole contre le transporteur, et mardi le 14 janvier j'ai reçu la boite manquante, naturellement sans frais et Zachary a finalement eu son cadeau de Noël .

Mercredi 15 janvier 2014 à 19 h 30 - La première pleine Lune de l’année éclairera le ciel le 15 janvier, dans la nuit de mercredi à jeudi. Elle est aussi connue sous le nom de Lune des loups.
La légende veut qu’en janvier, alors que le froid glacial et la neige abondante sévissaient, des meutes de loups hurlaient en rôdant autour des villages amérindiens à la recherche de nourriture, difficile à trouver à cette période de l’année.
De plus, la pleine Lune de janvier peut difficilement être observée sans ressentir la morsure du froid!
Il s’agit également d’une «micro Lune», puisque la pleine Lune de janvier est celle qui nous apparaît la plus petite du fait qu’elle se trouve loin de la Terre.

When FBI agent John O'Hara first sees her, she seems perfect. She has the looks. The career. The clothes. The wit. The sophistication. The tantalizing sex appeal. The whole extraordinary package - and men fall in line to court her. She doesn't just attract men, she enthralls them. If you dare.
So why is the FBI so interested in Nora Sinclair? Mysterious things keep happening to people around her, especially the men. And there is something dangerous about Nora when Agent O'Hara looks closer - something that lures him at the same time that it fills him with fear. Is there something dark hidden among the unexplained gaps in her past? And as he spends more and more time getting to know her, is he pursuing justice? Or his own fatal obsession?
