«La Réserve» is the novel by Russell Banks, published by Actes Sud in paperback (384 pages, in French).
In July 1936, painter Jordan Groves meets the enigmatic Vanessa Cole by a lake in the Adirondacks and feels irresistibly drawn to her, despite being married with children. As Europe edges toward war, the plot combines social comedy with psychological thriller and family wounds.
Translated from English by Pierre Furlan, its original title is «The Reserve». The French edition belongs to the Babel collection of Actes Sud and was originally published in 2008.
Russell Earl Banks was an American writer of fiction and poetry. His novels are known for "detailed accounts of domestic strife and the daily struggles of ordinary often-marginalized characters". He drew from his own childhood in the working class, but also from the larger world, such as his years in Jamaica. His novels often reflect "moral themes and personal relationships".
