About the Book

Haïti années 1978-2004 - Rachel Assali, fille de Rudolph Assali, un grand homme d'affaires d'origine palestinienne et de Rebecca Berthold, est issue de la haute bourgeoisie de Pétion-Ville, a 25 ans et n'est toujours pas mariée contrairement à toutes les demoiselles de la famille. Pourtant, elle est belle à damner un saint. On ne lui connaît aucune aventure et ce fait inquiète beaucoup sa grand-mère maternelle. Les célibataires les plus en vue du pays, la laissent totalement indifférente. Après de brillantes études à l'étranger, elle était revenue plus éblouissante que jamais, mais aussi sans aucun désir de se caser. Son père est un homme influent qui rêve de se lancer dans la politique. La chambre de commerce dont il fait partie organise souvent de fastueuses fêtes et c'est au cours de l'une d'entre elles, chez Laurent Schomberg et son épouse Amanda, des amis intimes de ses parents, que la jeune femme va faire la connaissance de Charles Lindsay; le séduisant diplomate, Chargé d'affaires de l'ambassade américaine à Port-au-Prince qui assure l'intérim au poste d'ambassa- deur, car le titulaire de ce poste a été victime d'une crise cardiaque qui le force à faire une très longue convalescence. Elle semble ne pas être indifférente à la cour que lui fait le jeune homme tombé amoureux d'elle dès le premier jour de leur rencontre. Mais, Charly découvre très vite que l'attitude un peu froide que lui oppose Rachel, qui pourtant lui rend ses sentiments, est liée à un terrible secret. Rachel est une promise aux loas du panthéon vaudou. Elle est mystique. À vingt mille lieux du syncrétisme religieux qui a cours dans l'île, Charly se croit assez fort pour vaincre toutes les adversités. Il est même prêt à se battre contre les esprits pour vivre avec celle qu'il aime. Mais est-il au courant de la force et de la puissance de ces loas jaloux et vindicatifs ? Sait-il à quel genre de tourments il s'expose ? Dans une Haïti faite de sensualité et de préjugés de toutes sortes, Charles Lindsay va être plongé dans un univers tout à fait fantastique où la réalité se confond avec le rêve. L'île aux mille passions se révèlera à lui de manière étonnante. Le mysticisme et la politique qui règnent en maître dans la vie de chaque habitant de ce pays auront-ils raison de lui ? La promise, un roman plein de volupté et de sensualité qui vous emportera sur les ailes du plaisir dans le pays de toutes les tentations !
