High in the Hollywood Hills, writer Lady Daniels has decided to take a break from her husband. She’s going to need a hand with her young son if she’s ever going to finish her memoir. In comes S., a magnetic young artist, who will live in the secluded guest house out back, care for Lady’s young toddler, and also keep a watchful eye on her older, teenage son. S. performs her day job beautifully, quickly drawing the entire family into her orbit, and becoming a confidante for Lady. But as the summer wears on, S.’s connection to Lady’s older son takes a disturbing, and possibly destructive, turn. Lady and S. will move closer to one another as they both threaten to harm the things they hold most dear.

Le prochain roman de Edan Lepucki à paraître chez Crown

Avec son premier roman, CALIFORNIA, Edan Lepucki est devenue l’emblème de la lutte contre Amazon. Publié par Little, Brown and Company, filiale d’Hachette, son livre a été l’un des premiers romans les plus précommandés dans l’histoire d’Hachette Book Group suite au règlement du conflit qui l’opposait à Amazon, et Edan Lupcki, d’après le New York Times, en est donc ressortie grande gagnante.

L’auteure américaine a désormais changé d’éditeur et a signé avec Crown Publishing pour son prochain roman : WOMAN NO. 17, qui devrait paraître en 2017 comme annoncé par Publishers Weekly.
