For anyone who's dreamed of immortality comes a twice-in-a-lifetime
love story by Marc Levy, the phenomenal, internationally
bestselling French author of P.S. from Paris and The Last of the
Stanfields. In Massachusetts, neuroscience students Luke, Josh, and
Hope have formed an unbreakable and unconditional friendship. Bound
by their wit, brilliance, and curiosity, they throw themselves
heart and soul into their research and are on the verge of a
revolution, pushing the limits of what's possible. Their new
computer program can capture a person's entire consciousness,
memory, and personality-a digital map of the brain's connections
that promises to bridge the relationship between human and machine,
between the past and the future. When Hope is diagnosed with a
fatal and aggressive illness, their work takes on a new
significance and urgency. Everything that defines who Hope is, and
everything Luke and Josh love about her, will not be lost. Memory
by memory, they're going to make sure of it. Hope is a heartwarming
story about the boundaries of love, life, and death-and what will
endure with us forever.
From international bestselling author Marc Levy comes a witty and
beguiling novel of one woman's unexpected journey to follow her
destiny. Alice Pendelbury believes everything in her life is pretty
much in order-from her good friends to her burgeoning career. But
even Alice has to admit it's been an odd week. Not only has her
belligerent neighbor, Mr. Daldry, suddenly become a surprisingly
agreeable confidant, but he's encouraging her to take seriously the
fortune-teller who told her that only by traveling to Turkey can
Alice meet the most important person in her life. What's more, the
peculiarly insistent Mr. Daldry has even agreed to finance Alice's
trip-one that against all reason seems to be predestined. It's on
this journey, crazy from the outset and strangely irresistible,
that Alice will find out that nothing in her life is real, that her
past is not true, and that the six people she's about to encounter
will shape her future in ways she could never have dreamed. Revised
edition: Previously published as L'etrange voyage de Monsieur
Daldry, this edition of The Strange Journey of Alice Pendelbury
includes editorial revisions.
A remarkable story of struggle and survival in World War II by
France's No. 1 bestselling novelist Early in 1942, two young
brothers join a Resistance group. All the members of the group are
young, most of their families came from elsewhere in Europe or
North Africa and all of them are passionately committed to the
freedom of France and Europe. They find they are not welcomed by
other French groups and thus Brigade 35 is formed. For most of
them, their growing up, their falling in love, their sense of
friendship and family are formed by their time with the group, and
between moments of extreme danger and fear, a lifestyle of a kind
of normality develops. But tragedy follows when the brothers are
arrested, a number of members of the Brigade 35 are killed and a
traitor is suspected. The tensions between former comrades and
other Resistance fighters mounts and all this against the desperate
hope that the invasion by the allies is really drawing near and
will rescue them all.

From Marc Levy, the most-read French author alive today, comes a
modern-day love story between a famous actress hiding in Paris and
a bestselling writer lying to himself. They knew their friendship
was going to be complicated, but love-and the City of Lights-just
might find a way. On the big screen, Mia plays a woman in love. But
in real life, she's an actress in need of a break from her
real-life philandering husband-the megastar who plays her romantic
interest in the movies. So she heads across the English Channel to
hide in Paris behind a new haircut, fake eyeglasses, and a
waitressing job at her best friend's restaurant. Paul is an
American author hoping to recapture the fame of his first novel.
When his best friend surreptitiously sets him up with Mia through a
dating website, Paul and Mia's relationship status is
"complicated." Even though everything about Paris seems to be
nudging them together, the two lonely ex-pats resist, concocting
increasingly far-fetched strategies to stay "just friends." A feat
easier said than done, as fate has other plans in store. Is true
love waiting for them in a postscript?
From international bestselling author Marc Levy, the most widely
read writer in France today, comes an unusual and charming love
story that reunites a father and daughter, and past and present, in
the most unexpected ways. Days before her wedding, Julia Walsh is
blindsided twice: once by the sudden death of her estranged
father...and again when he appears on her doorstep after his
funeral, ready to make amends, right his past mistakes, and prevent
her from making new ones. Surprised, to say the least, Julia
reluctantly agrees to turn what should have been her honeymoon into
a spontaneous road trip with her father to make up for lost time.
But when an astonishing secret is revealed about a past
relationship, their trip becomes a whirlwind journey of rediscovery
that takes them from Montreal to Paris to Berlin and back home
again, where Julia learns that even the smallest gestures she might
have taken for granted have the power to change her life forever.
Revised edition: Previously published as Toutes ces choses qu'on ne
s'est pas dites, this edition of All Those Things We Never Said (US
Edition) includes editorial revisions.
