Böcker av Catherine Lane

Dépose-moi vivante décrit la rencontre amoureuse, puis la perte et la disparition de l'être aimé. La démarche est introspective, on y questionne le temps et ce qui en constitue la trame. Les thèmes de l'errance, de l'altérité, et de la mémoire, y sont abordés, dans une perspective où une voix se fait entendre et affirme sa spécificité. Dépose-moi vivante évoque l'amour et la perte, et ce qui fonde notre individualité, dans cette quête incessante d'un lieu et d'un temps où notre relation à l'Autre et à ce que nous sommes virtuellement devient possible, même si le coeur de ce que nous sommes n'est jamais atteint, même si nous sommes ailleurs, introuvables.

Smart and athletic, Amy Kimball should have it all, but her life's in a tailspin. She's working two menial jobs to make ends meet, barely a paycheck away from financial disaster, and women aren't exactly lining up at her door. Enter soccer star Diego Torres, who's keeping a big secret: he's gay. His manager fears that if he's found out, his endorsements and his chance to play for the national team will evaporate into the wind. Amy jumps at the chance to act as Diego's fake fiancée, even though it means signing her life away in a non-disclosure agreement. On the surface, the job couldn't be better: the money's great; the living accommodations are luxurious, and she gets to watch her favorite soccer team from the players' box at the stadium. But she soon realizes that this new life is even harder to navigate than her old one. Diego's manager is as sleazy as they come, and this easy job soon turns complicated, possibly even dangerous. More important, all the lies Amy is forced to tell are starting to eat away at her soul, especially when she finds herself attracted to Casey Palmer, Diego's pretty assistant. Will Amy watch from the sidelines, or will she find the courage to get back into the game?
