À propos de cet audio

 In the fall of 1916, Americans debate whether to enter the European war. "Preparedness parades" march and headlines report German spies. But in an isolated community in the Adirondacks, the danger is barely felt. At Tamarack Lake the focus is on the sick. Wealthy tubercular patients live in private cure cottages; charity patients, mainly immigrants, fill the large public sanatorium. For all, time stands still. An enterprising patient initiates a weekly discussion group. When his well-meaning efforts lead instead to a tragic accident and a terrible betrayal, the war comes home, bringing with it a surge of anti-immigrant prejudice and vigilante sentiment.©2007 Andrea Barrett (P)2007 BBC Audiobooks America Fiction Fiction de genre Fiction littéraire Fiction policière Historique Vigilante Justice Crime Guerre Suspense

Ce que les critiques en disent

"This expertly paced and thoughtfully written book is ample testament to [Barrett's] gifts." (Elle)
"Barrett [writes in the] collective we, the voice of the crowd of convalescents. Details of New York tenements and of the sanitarium's regime are vivid and engrossing." (Publishers Weekly)
