Delirium
About this book
English : The first book in Lauren Oliver’s New York Times bestselling trilogy about forbidden love, revolution, and the power to choose.
In an alternate United States, love has been declared a dangerous disease, and the government forces everyone who reaches eighteen to have a procedure called the Cure. Living with her aunt, uncle, and cousins in Portland, Maine, Lena Haloway is very much looking forward to being cured and living a safe, predictable life. She watched love destroy her mother and isn't about to make the same mistake.
But with ninety-five days left until her treatment, Lena meets enigmatic Alex, a boy from the Wilds who lives under the government's radar. What will happen if they do the unthinkable and fall in love?
French : Lena vit dans un monde où l'amour est considéré comme la pire des maladies. Un monde où tous les jeunes subissent à leur majorité une opération de cerveau pour être immunisés. A quelques mois de ses dix-huit ans, Lena aspire presque à subir à son tour le Protocole car, depuis toujours, amour rime pour elle avec souffrance et danger. Jusqu'à ce qu'une rencontre inattendue fasse tout basculer. Avant, tout était simple, tout était organisé. Mais est-ce vraiment vivre que de laisser la société tout prévoir pour vous. Vos amis, vos amours et votre avenir ? (Payot.ch)
