A mystery, a love story, and a search through a shadowy past. Two
strangers unite in this novel of family secrets by international
bestselling author Marc Levy, the most read contemporary French
author in the world. When London journalist Eleanor-Rigby Donovan
receives an anonymous letter alluding to a crime committed by her
deceased mother, her life is turned upside down. It points her to a
bar on the Baltimore Harbor, where she finds a stranger who has
received the same mysterious letter about his own mother. Together,
Eleanor-Rigby and this young man, George-Harrison Collins, embark
on a quest through the shadowy past of the Stanfields, a moneyed
Maryland family full of unimaginable secrets. These secrets will
transport them back decades, across continents, and to a mysterious
crime long buried...until now.
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 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.

Days before her wedding, Julia Walsh is knocked sideways 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. 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.
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
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.
