Dans la peau de Coventry

Resumen del libro

Fuyant un mari ennuyeux qui voue un amour inconditionnel à ses quatre tortues domestiques, une existence monotone dans le lotissement des Chemins Gris où il ne se passe jamais rien, et surtout la police, Coventry va se découvrir une âme d'aventurière et de fugitive sans le sou. Tandis que tout le monde la recherche activement, ses tribulations en plein coeur de Londres, aux côtés de personnages tous plus rocambolesques les uns que les autres, vont se révéler bien plus drôles qu'une vie de femme au foyer dans la banlieue anglaise

Biografía del autor

Sue Townsend was born in Leicester in 1946. Despite not learning to read until the age of eight, leaving school at fifteen with no qualifications and having three children by the time she was in her mid-twenties, she always found time to read widely. She also wrote secretly for twenty years. After joining a writers' group at The Phoenix Theatre, Leicester, she won a Thames Television award for her first play, Womberang, and became a professional playwright and novelist. After the publication of The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole Aged 13 , Sue continued to make the nation laugh and prick its conscience. She wrote seven further volumes of Adrian's diaries and five other popular novels - including The Queen and I, Number Ten and The Woman Who Went to Bed for a Year - and numerous well received plays. Sue passed away in 2014 at the age of sixty-eight. She remains widely regarded as Britain's favourite comic writer.
