Vous ne la connaissez pas, pourtant elle a tenu le monde entre ses mains. Au lendemain de la Première Guerre mondiale, Gertrude Bell a dessiné les frontière de l'Orient, dans ce désert sauvage où tout a commencé : le pays entre deux fleuves, le Tigre et l'Euphrate. Aventurière, archéologue, espionne, parlant l'arabe et le persan, elle fut la première femme puissante de l'Empire britannique, mais aussi une héroïne tragique. Idéaliste comme son ami et frère d'âme Lawrence d'Arabie. Impérialiste et courageuse comme le jeune Winston Churchill. Enfant aimée et incomprise d'une riche famille victorienne. Amoureuse éperdue. Et une énigme pour nous : celle des femmes que l'Histoire a effacées. Olivier Guez lui rend sa gloire et nous offre une épopée flamboyante : de la découverte de gigantesques gisements pétroliers aux jeux de pouvoir cruels entre Britanniques, Français et Allemands, des négociations sous les tentes bédouines aux sables de Bagdad où se perdent nos rêves. Le roman de Gertrude Bell dessine la vaste freque de la première mondialisation, quand le plus grand empire de tous les temps s'approprie une contrée mythique et maudite, terre d'Abraham, du déluge et de Babel, tombeau d'Alexandre le Grand : la Mésopotamie.
