Emma - Latitudes

En Angleterre à l’époque victorienne, Emma est femme de chambre pour une préceptrice à la retraite. Douce, calme et réservée, la domestique cache un passé douloureux. Lorsque le riche William Jones rend visite à son ancienne gouvernante, il remarque la jeune fille et, petit à petit, des liens profonds se tissent entre eux.
De Hakim, prince débarqué des Indes, à Eleanor, demoiselle de bonne famille promise à William, Kaoru Mori dresse des portraits étonnamment réalistes, parfois au vitriol, de divers personnages de la société britannique de l’époque, et dépeint avec délicatesse, sans mièvrerie, une histoire d’amour qui défie les conventions.
Trait fin et élégant, profusion des détails : la première série d’une auteure couronnée à Angoulême pour Bride Stories.
