Présentation de l'éditeur :
A sweeping transcontinental novel of secrets and lies buried within a single family
Thirty-two-year-old Gabriel Glover arrives in St. Petersburg to find his mother dead in her apartment. Reeling from grief, Gabriel and his twin sister, Isabella, arrange the funeral without contacting their father, Nicholas, a brilliant and manipulative libertine. Unknown to the twins, their mother had long ago abandoned a son, Arkady, a pitiless Russian predator now determined to claim his birthright. Aided by an ex-seminarian whose heroin addiction is destroying him, Arkady sets out to find the siblings and uncover the dark secret hidden from them their entire lives.
Winner of the Geoffrey Faber Memorial Prize and long-listed for the Man Booker Prize, Pravda is a darkly funny, compulsively readable, and hauntingly beautiful chronicle of discovery and loss, love and loyalty, and the destructive legacy of deceit.

Engrossing ...Docx's story has a pleasing vitality, and the strands of it set in St Petersburg are particularly compelling. This is a solid novel. --Daily Telegraph
Edward Docx may well be remembered for creating the Anglo-Russian family Novel.... I was genuinely amazed by the detail of Docx's St Petersburg its streets, canals, yards and back-street life. He does not just provide a realistic description of the city, but also allows the reader to experience it, with all its beauty and cruelty, similar to the style of Dostoevsky. All of Docx's St. Petersburg characters are believable, as are Gabriel's friends and acquaintances. --The Financial Times Magazine
Not since What a Carve Up! has there been such an absorbing indictment of the family. --Independent on Sunday
