Summary

""Rich in imagery and the detail of small-town life and haunting in its portrayal of ordinary men and women struggling to understand loss. Under Mr. Banks's restrained craftsmanship, what begins as the story of senseless tragedy is transformed into an aspiring testament to hope and human resilience."" — Atlanta Constitution

In The Sweet Hereafter, Russell Banks tells a story that begins with a school bus accident. Using four different narrators, Banks creates a small-town morality play that addresses one of life's most agonizing questions: when the worst thing happens, who do you blame?

Here is a stunning novel of ""compelling moral suspense"" (Los Angeles Times Book Review) from one of America's greatest storytellers.

J'adore la façon qu'à Russell Banks de mettre en scène ses personnages, les voix des différents narrateurs leurs donnent vie d'une manière très subtile et on a le sentiment de les rencontrer réellement. L'accident tragique autour duquel tourne le roman révèle les vicissitudes d'une petite ville de province américaine avec ses personnages plus ou moins sympathiques, ses secrets inavouables, ses désespoirs, ses ruptures, le tout sous le regard bienvaillant de la conductrice du bus scolaire, responsable malgré elle de l'accident qui a coûté la vie à tant d'enfants.
