Book Description
La conclusion de Found, l’histoire de Gwen et JC en deux tomes, suite de Free Me, par Laureline Paige, auteure de best-sellers au classement du New York Times. Je suis venue au Sky Launch pour tout recommencer, loin des horreurs de mon passé. Les circonstances qui m’ont amenée ici n’étaient pas idéales, mais je me suis liée d’amitié avec Alayna et Hudson Pierce, et ma famille a guéri comme je ne l’aurais jamais cru possible. Avec eux dans mon entourage proche, je ne me suis jamais sentie plus en confiance. Mais pour tout recommencer à zéro, il faut savoir lâcher prise. Et il y a certaines choses que je ne veux pas abandonner – JC, par exemple, l’homme qui m’a appris à me libérer. L’homme que je n’étais pas censée aimer. L’homme que je ne veux pas perdre. Je suis en sécurité dans ma vie désormais. Les menaces du passé sont devenues moins inquiétantes et je me retrouve face à un choix : tourner la page ou me raccrocher à l’espoir que JC m’aime suffisamment pour venir me retrouver.

Book Description
This book analyses and describes Speech and Thought Presentation (S&TP) in French from a broad theoretical perspective, building bridges between linguistic, stylistic and narratological frameworks that have until now been developed separately. It combines the French théorie de l'énonciation and different Anglo-Saxon approaches of reported discourse into a harmonious whole, in order to create a new and exciting paradigm for our conception of S&TP strategies. Basing its findings on actual corpora and going beyond the canonical categories of reported discourse, it shows that the study of S&TP strategies is essential to our understanding of phenomena as diverse as the evolution and categorization of literary genres, the production and staging of 'orality' in literature, the various conceptualizations of the notion of 'Truth' in fiction and non-fiction, the expression of points of view in narrative, the structuring of rhetorical strategies and the construction of the 'Self' versus the representation of the 'Other' in discourse.
