De Martha Washington à Michelle Obama, ce livre vous plonge au coeur du pouvoir présidentiel américain, à travers la personne de la First Lady, à la fois femme publique et femme privée. Personnage aujourd’hui incontournable aux États-Unis, la Première Dame n’a pas toujours occupé ce rang. Du XVIIIe siècle au XXIe siècle elle se décline comme hôtesse de la Nation, modèle et miroir de la communauté féminine, coprésidente… Fascinante, surprenante, parfois irritante, quel est son véritable rôle, sa véritable influence ? Quelle empreinte laisse-t-elle au-delà des couvertures de magazines et autres clichés ? Cet ouvrage examine et vous fait découvrir les différents rôles, privés et publics, joués par la femme du président dans une fonction aux multiples facettes, non officielle, non définie, non élective. Il révèle comment, au-delà du temps, tradition et modernité se rejoignent inexorablement et comment l’influence qu’exerce cette First Partner du président, qu’elle soit réelle ou supposée, souligne toute l’ambiguïté de sa position.

Shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize: A married woman begins an impulsive affair in Paris in this novel of "brilliant insight" (The Times, London). Sheila Redden, a devoted mother and reserved wife of a busy Belfast surgeon, is awaiting the arrival of her husband at a Paris hotel. In a matter of days, they'll be celebrating a second honeymoon after sixteen years of marriage. But Sheila never could've imagined the chance encounter with Tom, a handsome and attentive American student-or that in one inexplicable moment, she'd abandon everything she knows to disappear into the unknown with an irresistible stranger. It's more than a sexual awakening. It's a chance to see her ordinary life from a distance-her dutiful role as mother and wife, her sacrifices, her lost sense of self, and the realization that she's already been vanishing little by little for quite some time. All the while, Sheila's concerned husband and brother are retracing her steps, following her on a cathartic and devastating journey that's far from over.
