Title: Wounded Loves - Jeanne Bourin - book
Summary : Do you remember, Guillemine, the spring of our fifteenth year? It was in the time of King Francis, the first of his name." Thus speaks Cassandre Salviati, who has just been informed of the death of Pierre de Ronsard. They met one day in April 1545, at Court. A young poet then unknown, he would write: "I saw her, I was mad about her." He was a tonsured cleric and could not marry. She would marry Jean de Bray, a neighboring lord. But Cassandre and Ronsard would never stop loving each other, breaking up, and loving each other again. Always. Cassandre evokes forty years of her life here. An inspiration for Ronsard, a relative of Catherine de Medici, she was above all a woman of the Renaissance, that contrasting era when the arts and literature flourished, while women lost the rights they had acquired in the Middle Ages and wars ravaged the country.

Title: Lost from Sight - Carlene Thompson - book
Summary : Carefully, Chyna Greer raised the sash of her bedroom window. The hot July air swept across her face. Behind her, Zoey Simms, her best friend, said in a small, high-pitched voice, "I can't believe we're doing this!" "I don't think we should," Chyna said. "If I'm caught going to the lake at night..." Zoey gave a small smile, "Nothing will happen to you."..." The rest, alas, proved the opposite.

Title : The Mill of Springs - Françoise Bourdon - book
Summary :
Around a passionate and loyal woman, between shadow and light, secrets and traditions, the family saga of a line of Provençal papermakers.
Fontaine-de-Vaucluse, in 1840. From their first meeting, Timothée Viguier decreed that Noëlie would be his wife, and she herself knew that there would be no other man but him. Her father granted her hand without hesitation because the Viguiers had owned a prosperous paper mill on the banks of the Sorgue for several generations. Thus begins for Noëlie a life woven with dramas and happiness, joys and sorrows, which will take her until the 1920s when, as an old lady almost a hundred years old, she will be able, by the sheer force of her loyalty, to save the ancestral mill by revealing what should have been kept silent. In the footsteps of Petrarch, Françoise Bourdon takes us to Fontaine de Vaucluse for a journey filled with emotions and mysteries in an authentic Provence, radiant but bruised by the earthquake of 1909.
