La chambre de Mariana
Par Aharon Appelfeld. 2008
"Fuyant le ghetto et la déportation, la mère de Hugo, onze ans, le confie à une femme, Mariana, qui "travaille"…
dans une maison close. Hugo passe ses journées reclus dans un réduit privé de fenêtres, attenant à la chambre de Mariana, et supporte l'insupportable en se remémorant son enfance avec ses parents, dont il se projette mentalement les silhouettes telles des ombres chinoises, en écrivant des lettres à sa mère et en épiant tous les bruits qui l'entourent. La nuit, il rejoint Mariana. Dans un monde en pleine destruction, il prend conscience à la fois des massacres en train de se perpétrer et des mystères de la sexualité." -- 4e de couvUne carte sans légende: roman (Titan #82)

"Ballottée entre ses travaux scolaires, son rôle dans la pièce de théâtre de l'école, ses amours tourmentées et sa mère…
surprotectrice, Li Han Angers ne se doute pas qu'une âme troublée la guette, tapie dans l'ombre. Mais quand elle commence à être victime d'étranges incidents, sa belle assurance s'effondre. Qui donc s'acharne ainsi sur elle ? Et pourquoi ? Heureusement qu'elle a des amis sur qui compter, dont Dominique, un adolescent atteint du syndrome d'Asperger, une forme d'autisme, qui utilisera ses étonnantes aptitudes et combattra ses peurs pour tenter de l'aider. Y parviendra-t-il avant qu'il ne soit trop tard ? Une carte sans légende est un heureux mélange de suspense, de romantisme et d'humour qui prône le respect des différences. C'est aussi une belle histoire d'amitié et de courage qui nous montre que nos faiblesses peuvent parfois cacher une force brute des plus étonnantes". -- 4e de couvRising water
