Charlotte Salomon is born into a family stricken by suicide and a
country at war. But there is something exceptional about her - she
has a gift, a talent for painting. And she has a great love, for a
brilliant, eccentric musician. But just as she is coming into her
own as an artist, death is coming to control her country. The Nazis
have come to power and, as a Jew in Berlin, Charlotte's life is
narrowing, and she knows every second is precious. Inspiring,
unflinching, terrible and hopeful, Charlotte is the heartbreaking
true story of a life filled with curiosity, animated by genius and
cut short by hatred.

In the small town of Crozon in Brittany, a library houses
manuscripts that were rejected for publication: the faded dreams of
aspiring writers. Visiting while on holiday, young editor Delphine
Despero is thrilled to discover a novel so powerful that she feels
compelled to bring it back to Paris to publish it. The book is a
sensation, prompting fevered interest in the identity of its author
- apparently one Henri Pick, a now-deceased pizza chef from Crozon.
Sceptics cry that the whole thing is a hoax: how could this man
have written such a masterpiece? An obstinate journalist,
Jean-Michel Rouche, heads to Brittany to investigate. By turns
farcical and moving, The Mystery of Henri Pick is a fast-paced
comic mystery enriched by a deep love of books - and of the authors
who write them.
Natalie and Francois are the perfect couple, and perfectly
happy. But after Francois dies suddenly, only seven years into
their still blissful marriage, the widowed Natalie erects a
fortress around her emotions into which no one can gain access.
Until the most unlikely candidate appears: Markus, Natalie's
Swedish, geeky, and unassuming coworker.
