From the ultimate storyteller Stephen King comes, a 'joyful, uplifting' (Entertainment Weekly) tale about finding common ground despite deep-rooted differences, now with a new cover look. In the small town of Castle Rock word gets around quickly. That's why Scott Carey only confides in his friend Doctor Bob Ellis about his strange condition. Every day he's losing weight - but without looking any different.
Meanwhile a new couple, Deirdre and Missy, owners of a 'fine dining experience' in town, have moved in next door. Scott is not happy that their dogs keep fouling on his lawn. But as the town prepares for its annual Thanksgiving 12K run, Scott starts to understand the prejudices his neighbours face. Soon, they forge a friendship which may just help him through his mysterious affliction...'The sign of a master elevating his own legendary game yet again' USA TODAYIncludes illustrations © Mark Edward Geyer.
Stephen King dans le feel-good ! qui l'eut cru ?
C'est l'histoire de Scott, Scott est un mec bien, mais il ne le sait pas encore, perdu dans son travail, ses habitudes, ses préjugés, et ses agacements de tous les jours... Un peu comme tout le monde.
Lorsqu'un événement tout ce qu'il y a de plus extra-ordinaire va finalement lui ouvrir les yeux sur lui, sur sa vie, sur sa ville aussi et sur la façon dont on traite les autres.
C'est un roman court et marquant, et qui fait du bien !
La preuve (encore) s'il en fallait (moi je le savais déjà) que Stephen King peut TOUT faire.
