Dublin, de nos jours. Frances et Bobbi, deux anciennes amantes devenues amies intimes, se produisent dans la jeune scène artistique irlandaise comme poètes-performeuses. Un soir, lors d'une lecture, elles rencontrent Melissa, une photographe plus âgée qu'elles, mariée à Nick, un acteur. Ensemble, ils discutent, refont le monde, critiquent le capitalisme comme les personnages de Joyce pouvaient, en leur temps, critiquer la religion. Ils font des photographies, ils écrivent, ils vivent. C'est le début d'une histoire d'amitié, d'une histoire de séduction menant à un " mariage à quatre " où la confusion des sentiments fait rage : quand Frances tombe follement amoureuse de Nick et vit avec lui une liaison torride, elle menace soudainement l'équilibre global de leur amitié. Mais Conversations entre amis n'est pas qu'une banale histoire d'adultère : c'est avant tout le portrait attachant, empathique, des jeunes gens contemporains, ces millenials qui ne parviennent pas à trouver leur place dans le monde que leur ont laissé leurs aînés. La voix de Frances, poétique, désinvolte, parfois naïve, d'une extraordinaire fraîcheur est, par de multiples aspects, celle de sa génération. Traduit de l'anglais (Irlande) par Laetitia Devaux.

Alice, une jeune romancière ayant connu un succès fulgurant, quitte Dublin pour s’installer dans un village d’Irlande. Elle fait la connaissance de Felix sur un site de rencontres. Eileen, la meilleure amie d’Alice, préfère rester dans la capitale et travaille pour un magazine littéraire. Elle renoue avec Simon, un copain d’enfance qui n’a jamais caché son attirance pour elle. Malgré la distance, Alice et Eileen se parlent presque tous les jours, ou plutôt elles s’écrivent. Des e-mails aussi drôles qu’intimes où elles laissent libre cours à leurs réflexions sur le sexe, l’amour, l’argent, l’amitié, la politique. Mais le monde s’assombrit. L’inégalité, l’injustice, la violence ne cessent de grandir. Comment continuer à se comprendre, s’aimer et admirer la beauté qui nous entoure quand le pire semble inévitable ? Après Normal People, Sally Rooney nous fait partager les rêves et les déceptions de ces enfants du siècle avec une franchise et une justesse remarquables. Traduit de l’anglais (Irlande) par Laetitia Devaux.

THE INSTANT #1 NATIONAL BESTSELLER • Shortlisted for the British Book Awards 2025 • Shortlisted for the An Post Irish Book Awards Novel of the Year • Best Book of the Year: The New Yorker • The New York Times • The Globe and Mail • TIME • The Winnipeg Free Press • The Guardian • The Independent • NPR • Dazed • VOX • People • Kirkus Reviews • Publishers Weekly • An exquisitely moving story about grief, love and family, from the global phenomenon Sally Rooney. Aside from the fact that they are brothers, Peter and Ivan Koubek seem to have little in common. Peter is a Dublin lawyer in his thirties – successful, competent and apparently unassailable. But in the wake of their father’s death, he’s medicating himself to sleep and struggling to manage his relationships with two very different women – his enduring first love, Sylvia, and Naomi, a college student for whom life is one long joke. Ivan is a twenty-two-year-old competitive chess player. He has always seen himself as socially awkward, a loner, the antithesis of his glib elder brother. Now, in the early weeks of his bereavement, Ivan meets Margaret, an older woman emerging from her own turbulent past, and their lives become rapidly and intensely intertwined. For two grieving brothers and the people they love, this is a new interlude – a period of desire, despair and possibility – a chance to find out how much one life might hold inside itself without breaking.
