Cette semaine bouleverse leur vie. De Delhi à Kovalam, dans le Sud, ils voyagent dans une Inde sur le qui-vive où, juste un an après les attentats de Bombay, se fait partout sentir l. a. threat terroriste. Une Inde où leur jeune accompagnateur indien déclare ouvertement sa haine des États-Unis. Une Inde où n'ont pas cours l. a. légèreté et l. a. raison françaises, où l. a. chaleur exacerbe les sentiments, où le ciel avant l'orage est couleur indigo. Tout en enchaînant les événements selon une mécanique narrative précise et efficace, ce nouveau roman de Catherine Cusset nous fait découvrir une humanité complexe, tourmentée, captivante.
