À propos de cet audio

 A Good Morning America Book Club Pick! • A bighearted novel with technicolor characters, plenty of Texas swagger, and a powder keg of a plot in which marriages struggle, rivalries flare, and secrets explode, all with a clever wink toward classical mythology.

For fans of Madeline Miller's Circe: "The Iliad meets Friday Night Lights in this muscular, captivating debut" (Oprah Daily).
The Briscoe family is once again the talk of their small town when March returns to East Texas two years after he was caught having an affair with his brother's wife. His mother, June, hardly welcomes him back with open arms. Her husband's own past affairs have made her tired of being the long-suffering spouse. Is it, perhaps, time for a change? Within days of March's arrival, someone is dead, marriages are upended, and even the strongest of alliances are shattered. In the end, the ties that hold them together might be exactly what drag them all down.

An expansive tour de force, Olympus, Texas cleverly weaves elements of classical mythology into a thoroughly modern family saga, rich in drama and psychological complexity. After all, at some point, don't we all wonder: What good is this destructive force we call love? Fiction Fiction de genre Fiction littéraire Mariage

Once again, Karissa Vacker gives an outstanding performance narrating Stacey Swann's family drama 'Olympus, Texas.' The novel is well written and nicely paced, with excellent character development. I was totally immersed in the story, loving the dramatic action, and the twisted family dynamics. Often in stories like this, one character is scapegoated as unforgivable. In 'Olympus, Texas,' everyone is somewhat flawed but completely redeemable. These characters and their stories will stay with me for some time. The writing is so immediate and visceral that reading it feels more like watching a movie than like reading a book. The production quality of the audiobook is first-rate.

Excellent Character Development
