Colette (1873-194) "– Et pourquoi cesserais-je d’être de mon village ? Il n’y faut pas compter. Te voilà bien fière, mon pauvre Minet-Chéri, parce que tu habites Paris depuis ton mariage. Je ne peux pas m’empêcher de rire en constatant combien tous les Parisiens sont fiers d’habiter Paris, les vrais parce qu’ils assimilent cela à un titre nobiliaire, les faux parce qu’ils s’imaginent avoir monté en grade. À ce compte-là, je pourrais me vanter que ma mère est née boulevard Bonne-Nouvelle ! Toi, te voilà comme le pou sur ses pieds de derrière parce que tu as épousé un Parisien. Et quand je dis un Parisien... Les vrais Parisiens d’origine ont moins de caractère dans la physionomie. On dirait que Paris les efface ! Elle s’interrompait, levait le rideau de tulle qui voilait la fenêtre : – Ah ! voici Mlle Thévenin qui promène en triomphe, dans toutes les rues, sa cousine de Paris. Elle n’a pas besoin de le dire, que cette dame Quériot vient de Paris : beaucoup de seins, les pieds petits, et des chevilles trop fragiles pour le poids du corps ; deux ou trois chaînes de cou, les cheveux très bien coiffés... Il ne m’en faut pas tant pour savoir que cette dame Quériot est caissière dans un grand café. Une caissière parisienne ne pare que sa tête et son buste, le reste ne voit guère le jour. En outre, elle ne marche pas assez et engraisse de l’estomac. Tu verras beaucoup, à Paris, ce modèle de femme-tronc. Ainsi parlait ma mère..." Souvenirs de Colette sur sa mère Sido Landoy, son père Jules-Joseph Colette, ses frères Achille et Léopold et sa soeur Juliette. Suivi de "Les vrilles de la vigne", recueil de 23 nouvelles.

Je l’ignore comme d’habitude et je continue à regarder par la fenêtre. — Mila. Je l’entends prononcer mon prénom avec son profond accent italien, et je manque d’obéir à ses ordres, mais je dois rester sur mes positions. — Mila, tu commences à me foutre en rogne. Il parle fort, mais je ne comprends pas ce qu’il dit. — Mila, tu commences à m’énerver. — Tu fais comme si je pouvais te comprendre, espèce d’abruti ! Je me retourne vers lui, en colère. Je ne sais pas pourquoi je suis si énervée. Il n’a vraiment rien fait de mal, mais je sais que j’ai commis une énorme erreur. Alors je me précipite vers lui et je lui dis : — Luc, je suis désolée. Je ne sais pas ce qui ne va pas chez moi, mais je suis vraiment désolée. Il m’attrape par la taille, me place entre ses jambes et me dit : — Si tu recommences à faire cette connerie, je te tue. Je te mettrai plusieurs balles dans le crâne. __________________________________ Mila Fanely est licenciée de son emploi de nounou. C’est son dernier jour et elle ramène le bébé chez elle, car Luca Revellio, le père du bébé, ne veut pas venir le chercher. On frappe à sa porte à 3 heures du matin, et un homme lui demande le bébé. Il l’invite ensuite à devenir leur nounou personnelle, car le bébé pleure toute la nuit et ils n’ont pas dormi depuis des jours. Elle accepte, et c’est là que commence l’histoire entre Luca et elle.

Le vent hurlait comme un loup affamé, balayant les rues de la ville de Panama city d'une pluie glaciale. Ethan Lemaire, l'homme d'affaires impitoyable, le maître du monde des affaires, était seul dans sa tour d'ivoire. Son empire, Lemaire Industries, était un monument à son ambition, mais son cœur était une ruine, dévasté par une tragédie qu'il refusait d'admettre. Jade Vidal, la femme de ses rêves, sa fiancée, était partie. Disparue, engloutie par un océan de mensonges et de secrets. Un accident ? Un simple malentendu ? Ou une fuite orchestrée pour échapper au carcan doré qu'Ethan lui avait imposé ? Derrière son masque de réussite, Ethan cachait une blessure profonde. La vérité, comme un serpent tapi dans l'ombre, rongeait son âme. Il s'était créé une forteresse de solitude, se cachant dans un monde virtuel, où une femme inconnue, lui offrait un semblant de réconfort. Naia Roux, la nouvelle assistante d'Ethan, allait entrer dans sa vie comme un ouragan. Une fille têtue, une vraie folle, avec un esprit indépendant et une énergie débordante. Ethan, habitué à un monde de contrôle et de prévisibilité, allait être confronté à une personnalité flamboyante et imprévisible. Leur relation, dès le départ, allait ressembler à un combat incessant, à un éternel jeu de chat et de souris. Le destin, cruel et imprévisible, avait prévu bien autre chose. La vérité, avec ses ombres et ses lumières, était sur le point d'éclater. Les liens ténus qui unissaient Ethan à Jade, tissés de mensonges et de rêves brisés, allaient se briser, dévoilant une réalité qui allait le faire basculer dans un abysse de douleur. Mais en même temps, Naia, la fille qui allait lui donner du fil à retordre, allait lui tendre la main et l'aider à traverser cette tempête. Est-ce que Jade va la laisser faire? Et Ethan étant têtu, va lui faciliter la tâche ??

Leigh and Morwenna Mutton:‘This is a cosy crime story with some gentle sleuthing, full of twists and turns, and even a little romance, although things do turn pretty hair-raising at times for Morwenna. The inhabitants of Seal Bay are charming, vibrant and humorous and there is plenty to love in this thoroughly engrossing story. Morwenna makes a great lead character and I am keen to read more in this lovely series.’ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️‘I adore all Judy Leigh’s books. They are warm, witty, welcoming and extremely well executed. I always know I will be in for a treat when I pick up one of her books.’ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️‘It's a cozy type mystery with family, drama and even a little romance thrown in, showing that you are never too old- for anything if you put your mind to it. A brilliantly entertaining read, I look forward to more in the series.’ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️‘Morwenna is truly unique. At a time when most women would be happy to take it easy, she is intent on taking on more. Her work and family are important to her, but it is her determination to solve a mystery that makes her stand out. She is feisty and unrelenting. She puts herself in peril again and again, never stopping to consider the danger. A great mystery with a fantastic leading lady.’ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️‘Well written with an enjoyable mystery. I really like the fact Judy Leigh peoples her books with more mature characters and Morwenna is one of my favourites.’ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️‘As well as the humour and wit in her novels and the fabulous characters and stories, her settings are excellent too. In the Morwenna Mutton series, Seal Bay comes to life with its coast, all the little shops around and the people who live and work in the area. It’s all so easy to picture and you feel like you are there, right in with all the action.’ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

From MILLION COPY BESTSELLER J. R. LeighBrimming with warmth, humour and a love of life… a wonderful escapade’ Fiona GibsonThere is excitement in the air as the travelling theatre arrives in Seal Bay.When The Spriggan Travelling Theatre Company arrives in Seal Bay to perform a Cornish version of King Arthur the locals flock to be entertained. But for Morwenna Mutton, sexagenarian librarian, wild swimming enthusiast and amateur sleuth, the theatre brings intrigue too. Actor and director Daniel Kitto is not the most popular member of the cast and unbeknownst to him, his role of Uther Pendragon on the opening night is to be his swansong.In front of a horrified audience, he collapses during the dying moments of the performance in a pool of fake blood, and although the police are content that the causes of his death are natural, Morwenna isn’t so sure. And once it becomes clear that there are a number of people who stand to gain from Daniel’s death, Morwenna’s investigation takes a dangerous turn.If you love Miss Marple and The Thursday Murder Club, then you'll love The Morwenna Mutton mysteries.Readers love J.

I think the novel would make a fabulous television cosy crime drama. It was highly entertaining, most enjoyable, fun and light-hearted. I cannot wait for more of this fabulous series’ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Reader Review'Great who dunnit read, with a good flow to it. Characters who I’d like to meet and chat to.
