La Derniere Recolte

(Author) John Grisham
Format: Paperback
Price: £0.00

Tous les étés, dans la bourgade de Black Oak, Arkansas, les paysans se préparent à la récolte du coton. La ferme Chandler, dirigée par le solide grand-père Eli, recrute les indispensables saisonniers, " ceux des collines " et les Mexicains. Ensemble, ils devront ramasser le coton au plus vite avant la terrible saison des inondations. Pour le petit Luke Chandler, c'est toujours l'occasion de rencontres divertissantes, même si la cueillette est un travail bien difficile pour un enfant de sept ans. Mais Luke ne compte pas s'éterniser à la ferme : plus tard, c'est sûr, il deviendra professionnel de base-ball, dans l'équipe légendaire des Saint Louis Cardinals... Pour l'heure, au cours de ce qui sera sa dernière récolte au côté de la jolie Tally, du violent Hank et du mystérieux Cow-boy, Luke va aussi cueillir les premières leçons de la vie. Et celles-ci ne sont pas toujours aussi douces que du coton... " [...] un roman sudiste très attachant, à forte teneur autobiographique, au style dépouillé et à l'intrigue - on ne se refait pas - admirablement ficelée. ", Bernard Le Saux, Le Figaro littéraire.
