'A touching portrait of two families bound together by a split-second decision that tore a hole through an entire city.' Attica Locke 'Steph Cha fearlessly explores the duality of LA's promise and betrayal, its vision of new beginnings and the brutal divisions that cut between race and class.' Walter Mosley Grace Park and Shawn Mathews share a city - Los Angeles - but seemingly little else.

As Grace battles confusion over her elder sister's estrangement from their Korean-immigrant parents, Shawn tries to help his cousin Ray readjust to city life after years spent in prison.

Your House Will Pay is the goods. Sharply written, tragically and movingly relevant.' Rob Hart, author of The Warehouse 'Both a crackling page-turner and a deeply felt work of eloquence and devastating insight.' Eliz

August Brill, 72 ans, se remet d'un accident de voiture chez sa fille, dans le Vermont. Comme il n'arrive pas à dormir, il reste étendu et se remémore sa vie, en tentant toutefois d'éviter les souvenirs pénibles, comme la mort récente de sa femme ou le meurtre atroce du fiancé de sa petite-fille. August imagine alors un monde parallèle où l'Amérique n'est pas en guerre contre l'Irak mais avec elle-même - un monde dans lequel les Tours Jumelles ne se sont pas écroulées mais où une guerre civile a brutalement éclaté après les élections en 2000. Au fil de la nuit, l'histoire d'August devient de plus en plus intense et ce qu'il essaye désespérément de se cacher fait tout pour revenir à la surface.

of a group of students growing up in a darkly skewered version of contemporary England.

The year is 1952, and E.F. Bloodworth has returned to his home - a forgotten corner of Tennessee - after twenty years of roaming. The wife he walked out on has withered and faded. His three sons are grown and angry. Warren is a womanising alcoholic; Boyd is driven by jealousy to hunt down his wife''s lover; and Brady puts hexes on his enemies from his mother''s porch. Only Fleming, the old man''s grandson, treats him with respect and sees past all the hatred, realising the way it can poison a man''s soul. It is ultimately the love of Raven Lee, a sloe-eyed beauty from another town, that gives Fleming the courage to reject his family''s curse. In a tale redolent with the crumbling loyalties and age-old strife of the post-war American South made familiar to us by Cormac McCarthy, Gay''s characters inhabit a world driven by blood ties that strangle as they bind. A coming of age novel, a love story, and a portrait of a family torn apart, Provinces of Night introduced a distinctive new voice in American fiction and a superb cast of characters.
