Summary

En février 1974, Patricia Hearst, petite-fille du célèbre magnat de la presse William Randolph Hearst, est enlevée contre rançon par un groupuscule révolutionnaire dont elle ne tarde pas à épouser la cause, à la stupéfaction générale de l'establishment qui s'empresse de conclure au lavage de cerveau. Un événement mémorable dont la résonance va également “kidnapper” l'existence de trois femmes de générations différentes : une Américaine et deux Françaises obstinées à comprendre et reconstituer cet épisode.

Dans ce roman sur l'influence décisive de leur rencontre éphémère et par sa relecture de l'affaire Hearst, Lola Lafon s'empare d'une icône paradoxale de l'histoire américaine, de son rayonnement dans l'espace public et du chavirement qu'elle a engendré dans le destin de ses héroïnes.
