Rescapé
Par Jean-Pierre Gorkynian. 2015
Les débuts de manuscrit que Youssef empile dans la boîte au pied de son bureau sont autant de morceaux de…
miroir dans lesquels se reflète son identité fragmentée. Zoé partie, le Moyen-Orient à feu et à sang... Comment réussir à faire naître le sens d'un monde en déroute dans lequel on n'a pas trouvé sa place ? Comment rêver quand il nous est impossible de même fermer l'oil ? Je me rappelle la gifle que je me suis prise sur la gueule quand j'ai dit à mon père que je voulais être écrivain. Ce n'était pas la première fois qu'il me frappait, mais cette gifle-là avait quelque chose de définitif. Il n'avait pas quitté une vie de merde pour que je mène une vie de merde. 2015.Rosa et son secret (Peregrino. #2.)
Par Cecilia Samartin, Mélanie Carpe. 2013

de Rosa - l'amour de sa vie, son éternel remords -, Jamilet n'a plus qu'une idée : découvrir la vérité sur cette femme qui lui semble si proche. Afin de percer le mystère qui l'entoure, Jamilet s'empare de documents qui la conduisent en Espagne, sur les traces de Rosa... et de ses propres racines. Elle entraîne le señor Peregrino dans un voyage qui les mène aux portes d'un couvent... D'une manière qui n'appartient qu'à elle, Cecilia Samartin tisse le destin parallèle de deux femmes, jusqu'à un dénouement inattendu. Optimistes et émouvants, les romans de Cecilia Samartin parlent au coeur de chacun d'entre nous. Rosa et son secret ne fait pas exception. " -- 4e de couv. Titre uniforme: La Peregrina.Ru
Par Kim Thúy. 2009
Ru est composé de très courts récits liés un peu comme dans une ritournelle : la première phrase du chapitre…
reprend le plus souvent l’idée qui terminait le chapitre précédent, permettant ainsi de faire le pont entre tous les événements que la narratrice a connus : sa naissance au Vietnam pendant la guerre, la fuite avec les boat people, son accueil dans une petite ville du Québec, ses études, ses liens familiaux, son enfant autiste, etc. La vie de l’auteure est bourrée de gens charmants, singuliers, de situations difficiles ou saugrenues vécues avec un bonheur égal, et elle sait jouer à merveille avec les sentiments du lecteur, oscillant entre le tragique et le comique, entre le prosaïque et le spirituel. 2009.Rêves amers (Les romans de Je bouquine. 119)

Between her twenty-year-plus marriage, gorgeous Berkeley, California, home, and three wonderful adult children, she has everything she could desire. But change-of-life doubts are making Beatrice a stranger to herself and her bewildered family. She only finds peace volunteering at the local soup kitchen, especially helping out homeless Charles Davenport. And his sensitivity and honesty soon comfort her in ways she never imagined.
