  • "1930. Lena, chanteuse lyrique, se promène à Londres avec un ami, Max, journaliste avec qui elle a vécu jadis, et qui aimerait la reconquérir. Ils font la connaissance d'un homme étrange, Strether, ancien soldat devenu barman. Max et Léna découvrent qu'il est lié à un parti fasciste anglais nouvellement créé. Inspiré d'une histoire vraie, ce roman décrit les mentalités de l'entre-deux-guerres."
  • "London between the wars was a place of anxiety and uncertainty. After the postwar boom of the 1920s, the aftereffects of the stock market crash hit London and, even as the fortunes of the aristocracy went into decline, there was hunger and a rising tide of virulent fascism. It is in this setting that Max, a French journalist looking for his next story, and Lena, an American singer, find themselves in Hedi Kaddour's Little Grey Lies. Once lovers, but now friends, Max and Lena travel with Lena's new man, Thibault, and with Max's barely masked jealousy. Then they meet the striking Colonel Strether, the epitome of military decorum and bearing. An aging war hero, Strether seems to Max to be his best chance at a story, but as the two men talk, it seems Stether may not be who he says he is and the old soldier's past begins to trouble Max and Lena as they crash forward through memories and truths not theirs."
