Dans la Barcelone de l’après-guerre civile, par un matin brumeux de 1945, un homme emmène son petit garçon – Daniel Sempere, le narrateur – dans un lieu mystérieux du quartier gothique : le Cimetière des Livres Oubliés. L’enfant est ainsi convié par son père à un étrange rituel qui se transmet de génération en génération : il doit « adopter » un volume parmi des centaines de milliers.

"A brava performance... Johnson has not only celebrated Churchill in this book: he has emulated him with comparable panache." Financial Times 'In this spirited, entertaining tale...

Mail on Sunday 'Riveting... Boris is a superb, accessible writer, with an easy, good-humoured touch.' Independent 'As high on entertainment as it is on providing an appraisal of the great man’s achievements.' Daily Telegraph 'Genuinely clever... this book sizzles.' The Times

From the author of She Flew the Coop and American Pie comes this lively multigenerational tale of six charming, unforgettable Southern women—a novel of love and laughter, pain and redemption. Though she was born in Tennessee, Miss Gussie is no country fool. A woman who can handle any situation, she has her hands full with two headstrong daughters who happen to be complete opposites—dour Dorothy and sweet Clancy Jane. Hoping money will heal childhood wounds, Dorothy marries the owner of a five-and-dime, while Clancy Jane gets into a mess of trouble, running off with a randy tomcat who pumps gas at the Esso stand.
