Les débutants
Anna Lore a quarante-trois ans lorsqu'elle rencontre Thomas Lenz : c'est le coup de foudre. Mais Anna vit avec Guillaume depuis vingt ans et forme avec lui un couple si uni que le briser lui semble impossible. Comment Anna peut-elle choisir entre ces deux hommes?
Récit d'une passion au jour le jour, ce journal de bord d'un amour fou est un roman haletant. Véritable archéologue du désir, Anne Serre nous livre l'analyse minutieuse et fébrile du sentiment amoureux. Une histoire singulière et totalement universelle, où il est question d'embrasement, de ravissement, de regret, de souvenir... Autant de fragments du discours amoureux dont Anne Serre renouvelle la grammaire avec brio.

Presentation
Anna Lore is 43 years old when she meets Thomas Lenz, 56 and falls passionately in love. She has been living with Guillaume for over 20 years. They have a very close relationship, attracting the admiration of their friends and family. Anna still loves Guillaume deeply but her attraction to Thomas is irrepressible. She tries to resist but to no avail. Will she really end twenty years of happiness with Guillaume ? Destroy everything she has built to start anew, and take the risk of failure ? Then Guillaume leaves her, to chose alone, torn between the two men she loves.
Anne Serre's story tells the birth of a passion, from day to day, almost from hour to hour. With a deep understanding of her characters, she pieces together the fragments of love, as careful and feverish as an archaeologist of desire.
Amongst Anne Serre"s many books, Le Cheval blanc d’Uffington (Prix Charles Oulmont), Le narrateur and Un chapeau léopard (Prix de la Fondation del Duca, in 2008). All published at Mercure de France.
