Week-End
Peter Cameron2003

Un week-end d'été, dans une maison de campagne du nord de l'Etat de New York.

Week-end est un roman moderne sur la fiction de l'amour, une œuvre de beauté tranquille et de lyrisme tendre.

***

On a midsummer weekend, in a country house in upstate New York, three friends, Lyle, Marian, and John, gather on the anniversary of the death of John's brother, who was also Lyle's lover. As Tony's absence haunts each of them in different ways, the reunion is complicated by the presence of Lyle's new lover, a much younger man named Robert, and a faux-Italian dinner guest with a penchant for truth telling. As the seemingly idyllic weekend proceeds, each character is stripped bare, and old memories and new desires create a chemistry that will transform them all.
