Description

Soit une épouse qui longtemps n’a été qu’une ombre furtive. Soit son candidat de mari  que tous les sondages ont consacré grand favori de l’élection présidentielle. Tout semble joué d’avance. Et voilà que l’épouse effacée, née outre-Manche, donne son prénom à un scandale, le Penelopegate, qui  change le cours de l’Histoire en chamboulant l’un des scrutins les plus cruciaux de ces dernières années … Qui est vraiment Penelope Fillon  ? Une coupable, une complice, une héroïne, une victime ? Ce mystère dépasse le huis clos de son couple. Il nous parle des femmes de sa génération, de leurs rapports aux hommes, ou au moins à un certain type d’hommes, de l’amour, oui de l’amour, mais aussi de la lutte pour le pouvoir, et de tout ce qu’on est prêt à lui sacrifier. Il nous parle de politique, avec un petit comme un grand P.    Pour raconter comment Penelope Fillon, l’ex petite Anglaise qui n’aimait rien tant que la discrétion, est devenue l’un des personnages principaux d’un drame si typiquement français, Sylvie Bommel a mené une enquête minutieuse, en France et en Angleterre. Elle a rencontré des dizaines de témoins et exhumé des archives oubliées. Son livre  écrit, sans a priori, ni à charge ni à décharge, se lit comme un thriller psychologique et répond à une énigme  : pourquoi  «  Penny  », la Galloise,  qui avait tout donné à son mari, le ténébreux frenchy de la Sarthe,  l’a finalement empêché d’entrer à l’Élysée.

Description

When Penelope O’Shaunessy, “an incoming freshman of average height and lank hair” steps into Harvard Yard for the first time she has lots of advice from her mother: “Don’t be too enthusiastic, don’t talk to people who seem to be getting annoyed, and for heaven’s sake, stop playing Tetris on your phone at parties.” Penelope needs this advice. She is the kind of girl who passes through much of her life with coffee spilled on her white shirt, who can’t quite tell when people are joking, and who, inevitably, always says the wrong thing. But no amount of coaching will prepare Penelope for the people she meets at school.   Gloriously skewering the social hierarchy of college, Penelope is the brilliantly funny story of one of the most singular, memorable heroines in recent fiction.

Dissatisfied with life on the Upper East Side, a socialite finds a new favorite pastime: robbing banks When James R. Hastings, president of the City Federal Bank, began construction of a new branch on Madison Avenue, he vowed to make it burglar proof. Vaults set forty feet below ground, an array of cameras, and a quartet of burly guards were intended to deter any bandit. But James Hastings did not count on being robbed by his wife. ? Three weeks after the bank opens, a demure old woman removes a Luger from her handbag and asks a clerk to empty her register, then disappears into the bathroom with a haul of over $50,000. When the guards arrive, a scared young woman flees the bathroom and points them to the stalls. Inside, they find nothing but a discarded disguise, while the young woman walks calmly out the front door. This is Penelope Hastings?a bored banker?s wife who, now that she has taken up crime, will never be bored again. ? This ebook features an illustrated biography of Howard Fast including rare photos from the author?s estate.
