Lorsque Sylvie Durand reçoit une lettre lui intimant de se rendre de toute urgence à La Rêverie, sa maison en Provence, elle comprend qu'elle n'a plus le choix. Au coeur d'un été étouffant, marqué par des incendies d'une violence inhabituelle, Sylvie retourne donc à La Rêverie avec Emma, sa fille cadette, dans ses bagages.Alors que les souvenirs des événements qui ont brisé leur famille une décennie plus tôt menacent de remonter à la surface, Sylvie tente à tout prix de dépasser le profond sentiment d'effroi que lui inspire cet endroit. Et surtout de cacher à Emma la vérité sur ce qu'il s'est réellement passé cet été-là. Mais, du moindre recoin de la maison, surgit le spectre d'Élodie. Son aînée, venue au monde dans la tourmente de Mai 68. Sa jolie fille aux yeux vairons, que les villageois du coin comparaient volontiers à une « Manson Girl ». Élodie qui obtenait toujours ce qu'elle voulait. Élodie, disparue tragiquement à quatorze ans.À mesure que le mercure grimpe et que les feux se rapprochent, Sylvie sent poindre une menace bien plus effrayante. Qui pourrait tout changer. Alternant brillamment entre passé et présent, Kate Riordan tisse un page-turner captivant qui renouvelle le genre du roman d'été et interroge l'évidence supposée du lien maternel. Traduit de l'anglais par Géraldine D'Amico et Laurence Videloup

An Irish bestseller in hardback, The Boy in the Moon is the new novel from the author of Involved, set in London and contemporary and 1960s rural Ireland.
What happens to a marriage when a husband is responsible for his son's accidental death? Julia, whose young son Sam died in such circumstances, flees to the West of Ireland in a kind of madness to stay with her father-in-law Jeremiah, a dour, secretive old farmer, still living in a rundown farmhouse. Here, in his silent company, Julia stumbles upon the dark secrets of her husband's family, and learns, to her greater understanding, how tragedy is passed on from generation to generation.
Strong Irish setting - a superb evocation of rural life in the 1960s.
One of the few female Irish novelists who doesn't write like Maeve Binchy or Edna O'Brien. O'Riordan writes as powerfully as Dermot Bolger or Colm Toibin, but combines this with a wonderful ability to pin down character and the real mechanisms of human relationships
