As a new author for me I was immediately enthralled with the character of Laura....I was completely consumed with her thinking and with what was happening to her during those...five days. I was definitely worried by Day Three...wondering how this story could possibly evolve but what a total pleasure to read this book!!! Kennedy is a new author for me and I'm delighted that there are more of his works to read. Attention, livre dangereux !!!!! Qui n'a pas, dans sa vie, réfléchi à ce qu'il a été, ce qu'il aurait aimé faire et être et ce qu'il est devenu ? C'est ce qui arrive à Laura, jeune femme de 43 ans, mère de deux grands enfants, manipulatrice en radiologie, vivant dans le Maine et qui voit son ménage se déliter depuis que son mari est au chômage. Un week-end de séminaire à Boston bouleverse le cours de sa vie et lui redonne l'"Envie" de vivre vraiment et pleinement. Un beau roman sur notre vie, nos espoirs et déceptions, notre lâcheté face à notre destinée. Ce livre est dangereux car il nous parle, nous remue et nous fait faire malgré nous le bilan de notre propre vie, de nos frustrations. Une excellente analyse de l'humain en général qui secoue.

From the critically lauded, internationally bestselling author of The Moment comes a profoundly moving novel that explores how a single brief encounter can change one's life. Laura spends her days looking at other people's potential calamities. She works in the radiography unit of a small hospital on the Maine coast, bearing constant witness to the fears of patient after frightened patient. In a job where finding nothing is always the best possible outcome, she is well versed in the random injustices of life, a truism that has lately been playing out in her marriage as well. Since being downsized, her husband, Dan, has become withdrawn, his emotional distance gradually corroding their relationship. With a son in college and a daughter soon due to leave home, Laura has begun to fear that the marital sounds of silence will only deepen once the nest is truly empty. When an opportunity arises to attend a weekend medical conference in Boston, Laura jumps at this respite from home. While checking in, she meets a man as gray and uninspired as her drab hotel room. Richard is an outwardly dull, fiftysomething insurance salesman. But during a chance second encounter, Laura discovers him to be surprisingly complex and thoughtful, someone who, like herself, is grappling with the same big questions about decisions made and the human capacity for self-entrapment. As their conversation deepens and begins to veer into shared confessions, the overwhelming sense of personal and intimate connection arises. A transformative love affair begins. But can this potential, much-longed-for happiness be married to their own difficult personal circumstances? Can they upend their lives and embrace that most loaded of words: change? A love story as clear-sighted and ruminative as it is affecting, Five Days will have you reflecting about the choices we all make that shape our destinies. Crafted with Kennedy's trademark evocative prose and pitch-perfect in its depiction of the complex realities of modern life, it is a novel that speaks directly to the many contradictions of the human heart.
