Porridge et Polenta
Quel coup terrible ! Henry Radstock était effondré. Non contente d'avoir eu l'impudence de franchir le Channel pour se rendre chez les barbares, Susan, sa fille unique, osait lui annoncer ses fiançailles avec un... Italien. Perdrait-elle l'esprit ? Plus grave encore, le sauvage en question était soupçonné de meurtre. Mais après tout, cela n'avait rien de surprenant : dans ces contrées arriérées, l'assassinat est chose courante... Eh bien ! Il leur montrerait, lui, Henry Radstock, de quoi un sujet de Sa Gracieuse Majesté est capable. Le combat serait rude, mais il arracherait sa fille aux griffes de ces brutes ! Il y allait de l'honneur de la Couronne...

January 3, 2025Very enjoyable once you realise it is more like a pièce de théâtre than a crime story.

This is a really funny cime story. Charles Exbrayat always enjoyed writing stories about Italians facing English. In this one, he shows how one's prejudice about another people can change once they get to know this other people and the other country in which they live.
