About
Le mariage est un tissu de mensonges. Gentils, pour la plupart. D'omissions. Si tu devais exprimer ce que tu penses au quotidien de ton conjoint, tu réduirais tout en miettes. Elle n'a jamais menti. Elle s'est contentée de ne pas en parler. '

Ils se rencontrent à l'université. Ils se marient très vite. Nous sommes en 1991. À vingt-deux ans, Lotto et Mathilde
sont beaux, séduisants, follement amoureux, et semblent promis à un avenir radieux. Dix ans plus tard, Lotto est devenu
un dramaturge au succès planétaire, et Mathilde, dans l'ombre, l'a toujours soutenu. Le couple qu'ils forment est l'image-type d'un partenariat réussi.


Mais les histoires d'amour parfaites cachent souvent des secrets qu'il vaudrait mieux taire. Au terme de ce roman, la véritable raison d'être de ce couple sans accrocs réserve bien des surprises.
