Ann Brashares

Rien ne peut séparer des amies comme Tibby, Carmen, Bridget et Lena. Rien... sauf des vacances d'été qu'elles vont passer pour la première fois chacune de son côté. Pour surmonter cette épreuve, elles ont, comme un trait d'union, un jean. Bleu, vieux, bête comme un pantalon, oui mais voilà, ce jean-là est magique, puisqu'il va à merveille à chacune de ces filles pourtant aussi différentes physiquement que moralement. Il sera leur lien, leur témoin et le gage de leur amitié. Après se l'être passé toutes les semaines, elles écriront dessus, à la fin des vacances, un mot ou un dessin qui résumera leurs aventures.

Als de vier gezworen vriendinnen allemaal een andere zomercursus doen, krijgen ze met van alles te maken, vooral liefdesperikelen. Vanaf ca. 15 jaar.

With unraveled embroidery and fraying hems, the Traveling Pants are back for one last, glorious summer. Lena: Immerses herself in her painting and an intoxicating summer fling, fearing that the moment she forgets about Kostos will be the moment she sees him again. Carmen: Falls under the spell of a sophisticated college friend for whom a theatrical role means everything and the heritage of the Pants means nothing. Bridget: Joins a dig for an ancient city on the coast of Turkey and discovers that her archaeology professor is available in every way except one. Tibby: Leaves behind someone she loves, wrongly believing he will stay where she has left him. Join Ann Brashares's beloved sisterhood once again in a dazzling, fearless novel. It's a summer that will forever change the lives of Lena, Carmen, Bee, and Tibby, here and now, past and future, together and apart

Après leur première année loin de chez elles, à l'université, Carmen, Tibby, Bridget et Lena ont chacune des projets différents pour l'été : Carmen participe à un festival de théâtre. Persuadée de n'être bonne qu'à s'occuper des décors, elle est la première surprise lorsqu'elle se fait repérer pour ses talents d'actrice. Mais Julia, sa nouvelle amie, semble tout à coup bien distante... Tibby reste au campus à New York pour suivre un séminaire d'écriture de scénarios et file le parfait amour avec Brian, jusqu'à ce que... tout se complique. Bridget part en Turquie sur un chantier de fouilles archéologiques. Elle tombe sous le charme de Peter, trente ans, marié, père de famille... Lena suit un atelier de dessin en compagnie d'un élève particulièrement doué et plutôt beau garçon, Léo, qui pourrait bien lui faire oublier Kostos... Ce dernier volet laisse les quatre filles au seuil de leur vie d'adulte. C'est l'heure des grandes questions et, parfois, des déceptions. Mais une chose est sûre : avec ou sans le jean, leur amitié restera éternellement dans le bleu

[A] novel about love, class differences, and betrayal playing out over the course of a fractured American family's Long Island summer. Summer for Sasha and Ray means the sprawling old house on Long Island. Since they were children, they've shared almost everything-- reading the same books, running down the same sandy footpaths to the beach, eating peaches from the same market, laughing around the same sun-soaked dining table. Even sleeping in the same bed, on the very same worn cotton sheets. But they've never met. Sasha's dad was once married to Ray's mom, and together they had three daughters: Emma, the perfectionist; Mattie, the beauty; and Quinn, the favorite. But the marriage crumbled and the bitterness lingered. Now there are two new families-- and neither one will give up the beach house that holds the memories, happy and sad, of summers past. The choices we make come back to haunt us; the effect on our destinies ripples out of our control... or does it? This summer, the lives of Sasha, Ray, and their siblings intersect in ways none of them ever dreamed, in a novel about family relationships, keeping secrets, and most of all, love.
