Francine Deroyan Book order

Past Perfect is a spellbinding story of two families living a hundred years apart who open the door to an unimaginable friendship . . . Sybil and Blake Gregory live a well-ordered, predictable Manhattan life -- she as a cutting-edge design authority and museum consultant, he in high-tech investments -- raising their teenagers Andrew and Caroline and six-year-old Charlie. But when Blake is offered a dream job as CEO of a start-up in San Francisco, he accepts it, without consulting his wife, and buys a magnificent, historic mansion as their new home in Pacific Heights. Past and present collide at their elegant mansion, when they meet the large and lively family who lived there a century ago. All long dead but very much alive in spirit--visible to the Gregorys and no one else. Within these enchanted rooms, it is at once 1917 and a century later. Have the Gregorys been given a perfect gift; beloved friends, a chance to relive the past and the wisdom and grace to shape the future?

Comment débarrasser la Terre de ses sept milliards d’habitants ? Retirez aux hommes leur humanité… Sortir vivant des quatre premières vagues relevait déjà du miracle. Cassie Sullivan se retrouve maintenant dans un nouveau monde, un monde dans lequel la confiance fondamentale qui reliait les hommes a totalement disparu. Tandis que la 5e Vague engloutit progressivement le paysage, Cassie, Ben et Ringer doivent faire face à la visée ultime des Autres : l’extermination pure et simple de l’espèce humaine. Cassie et ses amis ne savent pas encore jusqu’où les Autres sont prêts à s’abaisser. Les Autres, eux, ne savent pas non plus jusqu’à quelle hauteur l’humanité peut se hisser à l’aube de la bataille finale entre vie et mort, espoir et désespoir, amour et haine.
