Brixton Beach by Roma Tearne
Ceylan, 1973. Alice, 9 ans, aime par-dessus tout etre a Sea House, la maison de ses grands-parents, au bord de l'Ocean, et marcher sur le sable blanc de Brixton Beach avec Bee, son grand-pere. Et puis la guerre civile a eclate, opposant les Tamouls aux Cinghalais. Les parents d'Alice, Stanley, Tamoul, et Sita, Cinghalaise, ont decide qu'il etait temps pour eux de quitter le paradis marin de la fillette et de se refugier en Grande-Bretagne, loin de Bee, loin de Sea House. Dans un paysage froid et hostile, Alice tente de se reconstruire et fait de l'art le support de ses passions et l'horizon de son bonheur. Jusqu'a ce matin de juillet 2005, ou la violence croise a nouveau son chemin.Roma Tearne sait les couleurs et les sons, les odeurs et les gestes pour nous faire entrer dans une societe en feu, ou demeure quand meme une lumineuse tendresse.
