On n'oublie jamais son premier amour... Été 97. Les frères Gallagher chantent toujours ensemble, Lady Di vit ses derniers jours et Charlie Lewis, 16 ans, vient de finir ses années lycée. Le temps s'étire lentement entre la miteuse station-service où il officie quelques heures par semaine, ses balades à vélo dans la campagne et ses soirées avec son paternel dépressif. Mais une rencontre va tout changer. Fran Fisher, une beauté céleste, incandescente ; une tornade d'énergie et de charisme, qu'il croise un beau jour, au beau milieu d'un champ où il lit distraitement.

Charlie Lewis is het soort jongen dat je je niet kunt herinneren als je hem op de schoolfoto ziet staan. In de klas is hij geen uitblinker en thuis gaat al zijn aandacht naar de zorg voor zijn werkloze vader. Terwijl zijn klasgenoten reikhalzend uitkijken naar de aankomende zomer, ziet Charlie niets dan donkere wolken aan de horizon. Dan komt de intrigerende Fran Fisher in zijn leven en krijgt Charlie voor het eerst in tijden weer hoop.

From the best-selling author of One Day comes a bittersweet and brilliantly funny coming-of-age tale about the heart-stopping thrill of first love - and how just one summer can forever change a life.

John Cage was a giant of American experimental music - composer, writer, and artist. He is most widely known for his 1952 composition "4'33", whose three movements continue to challenge the definition of music by being performed without playing a single note. In questioning fundamental tenets of Western music, Cage was often at the center of controversy, and is regarded as an important contributor to many facets of American culture.

Manches im Leben strahlt so hell, dass es erst aus der Entfernung wirklich gesehen werden kann. Die erste große Liebe ist so eine Sache, die immer noch leuchtet, auch wenn sie längst verglüht ist. Und jeder ist der Hauptdarsteller seiner ersten Liebesgeschichte. Auch Charlie Lewis. Nichts an ihm ist ansonsten besonders. Er sieht ok aus, seine Noten sind so mittel, selbst die Scheidung seiner Eltern ist nur normal unglücklich. Dann begegnet er Fran Fisher, und seine Welt steht Kopf.

Biochimiste de 54 ans, Douglas Petersen imagine déjà sa retraite auprès de Connie, sa femme artiste, dans leur maison londonienne. Mais celle-ci lui apprend brusquement qu'elle n'est plus certaine de l'aimer. Pathologiquement maladroit et réservé, Douglas va devoir déployer toute son énergie pour reconquérir sa femme et tenter de tisser des liens avec cet inconnu qu'est devenu son fils adolescent. Douglas entraîne alors sa famille sur les traces de leur passé, dans un tour très balisé de l'Europe.

Douglas Petersen may be mild-mannered, but behind his reserve lies a sense of humor that seduces beautiful Connie into a second date...and eventually into marriage. Now, almost three decades later, they live more or less happily in the London suburbs with their moody seventeen year-old son, Albie. Then Connie tells him she thinks she wants a divorce. The timing couldn’t be worse. Connie has planned a month-long tour of European capitals, a chance to experience the world’s greatest works of art as a family, and she can’t bring herself to cancel. And maybe going ahead is for the best anyway? Douglas is privately convinced that this landmark trip will rekindle the romance in the marriage, and might even help him to bond with Albie. Narrated from Douglas’s endearingly honest, slyly witty, and at times achingly optimistic point of view, Us is the story of a man trying to rescue his relationship with the woman he loves, and learning how to get closer to a son who’s always felt like a stranger.

Then Fran Fisher bursts into his life and despite himself, Charlie begins to hope.
