Grand album au cours duquel on narre comment un vieil ours mal léché, vivant seul dans sa tanière depuis que sa compagne l'a quitté, répond un jour à l'appel d'un ourson abandonné entendu en rêve.

The island of forgetting / by Sealy, Jasmine,author.;
"Barbados, 1962. Lost soul Iapetus roams the island, scared and alone, driven mad after witnessing his father's death at the hands of his mother and older brother, Cronus. Just before Iapetus is lost forever, he has a son, but the baby is not enough to save him from himself--or his family's secrets. Seventeen years later, Iapetus's son, the stoic Atlas, lives in a loveless house under the care of his uncle Cronus, and in the shadow of his charismatic cousin Z. Knowing little about the tragic circumstances of his father's life, Atlas must choose between his desire to flee the island and his loyalty to the uncle who raised him. Years later, Atlas's own daughter, Calypso, is a beautiful and wilful teenager who is desperate to avoid being trapped in a life of drudgery at her uncle Z's hotel. When she falls deeply and dangerously in love with a visiting real estate developer, she finds herself entangled with her uncle's shady dealings, a pawn in the games of the powerful men around her. In 2018, Calypso's son, Nautilus, is on a path of self-destruction as he grapples with his fatherlessness, his mixed-race identity, and his complicated feelings of attraction towards his best friend, Daniel. Then one night, Nautilus makes an impulsive decision and finds himself exiled to Canada. An intimate family saga loosely inspired by Greek mythology, this is a novel about the echoes of deep--and sometimes tragic--love and the way a family's past can haunt its future."--Provided by publisher.

That is, until the winery's newest hire, Luke, walks in the next morning. Margot is determined to keep things purely professional, but when their every interaction reminds her of the attraction still bubbling between them, it proves to be much more challenging than she expects. Luke Williams had it all, but when he quits his high-salary tech job in Silicon Valley in a blaze of burnout and moves back to Napa to help a friend, he realizes he doesn't want to tell the world--or his mom--why he's now working at a winery. His mom loves bragging about her successful son--how can he admit that the job she's so proud of broke him? Luke has no idea what is next for him, but one thing is certain: he wants more from the incredibly smart and sexy woman he hooked up with--even after he learns she's his new boss. But even if they can find a way to be together that wouldn't be an ethical nightmare, would such a successful woman really want a tech-world dropout? Set against a lush backdrop of Napa Valley wine country, nothing goes to your head as fast as a taste of love--even if it means changing all your plans."--
