Titre :  The Ocean at the End of the Lane

Auteur :  Neil GAIMAN

Edition :  Headline

Genre :  Fantastique

 

Sussex, England. A middle-aged man returns to his childhood home to attend a funeral. Although the house he lived in is long gone, he is drawn to the farm at the end of the road, where, when he was seven, he encountered a most remarkable girl, Lettie Hempstock, and her mother and grandmother. He hasn't thought of Lettie in decades, and yet as he sits by the pond (a pond that she'd claimed was an ocean) behind the ramshackle old farmhouse, the unremembered past comes flooding back. And it is a past too strange, too frightening, too dangerous to have happened to anyone, let alone a small boy.

Mon avis : Ma petite lecture plaisir de Londres (^-^)

  Encore une fois, Neil Gaiman nous offre une perle de sa création. Un roman très facile à lire en VO.

  Je préfère rester discrète quant à l'histoire car la découverte totale est un réel plaisir mais je peux vous assurer que vous ne serez pas déçus de cette lecture.
  Les personnages sont attachants et on se laisse rapidement embarquer dans cette aventure surprenante.

  Prenez une grande bouffée d'air frais et plongez ! Vous ne le regretterez pas !

I thought about adults. I wondered if that was true : if they were all really children wrapped in adult bodies, like children's books hidden in the middle of dull, long books. The kind with no pictures or conversations.

 

 

Conclusion :  "The Ocean at the End of the Lane" est un roman de Neil Gaiman à ne surtout pas manquer. Un vrai régal pour petits et grands. Faîtes moi confiance ! (^-^)
