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.

Swedish, geeky, and unassuming coworker.
