Title: The Baltimore Book - Joel Dicker - book
Summary :
Until the day of the Tragedy, there were two Goldman families. The Baltimore Goldmans and the Montclair Goldmans. The Montclair Goldmans, from whom Marcus Goldman, the author of The Truth About the Harry Quebert Affair, comes, are a middle-class family living in a small house in Montclair, New Jersey. The Baltimore Goldmans are a prosperous family with everything going for them, living in a luxurious house in a wealthy suburb of Baltimore, for whom Marcus had boundless admiration. Eight years after the Tragedy, Marcus Goldman decided to tell his family's story this time when, in February 2012, he left the New York winter for the tropical heat of Boca Raton, Florida, where he came to work on his next novel. Through the memories of his youth, Marcus revisits the life and destiny of the Baltimore Goldmans and the fascination he once felt for this wealthy American family, between vacations in Miami, the vacation home in the Hamptons, and the escapades in private schools. But the years pass and the Baltimore veneer crumbles as the Drama looms. Until the day everything changes. And this question that has haunted Marcus ever since: what really happened to the Baltimore Goldmans?

Title: Nothing Stands in the Way of the Night - Delphine de Vigan - book
Summary :
Elle Roman Readers' Prize 2012 - FNAC Novel Prize 2011 - France Télévisions Roman Prize 2011 - Renaudot High School Students' Prize 2011
"The pain of Lucile, my mother, was part of our childhood and later of our adult life, Lucile's pain undoubtedly constitutes us, my sister and me, but any attempt at explanation is doomed to failure. Writing can do nothing about it, at most it allows me to ask questions and to question memory. Lucile's family, ours therefore, has given rise to many hypotheses and commentaries throughout its history. The people I met during my research speak of fascination; I often heard it said in my childhood. My family embodies the noisiest, most spectacular aspects of joy, the tireless echo of the dead, and the reverberation of disaster. Today I also know that it illustrates, like so many other families, the destructive power of the Word, and that of silence. The book, perhaps, would be nothing other than that, the story of this quest, would contain within itself its own genesis, its narrative wanderings, its unfinished attempts. But it would be this impulse, from me towards her, hesitant and unfinished. In this dazzling investigation into the heart of family memory, where the most luminous memories rub shoulders with the most buried secrets, it is all our lives, our flaws and our own wounds that Delphine de Vigan powerfully unravels.

Delphine de Vigan describes with rare acuity the relationships that are woven and formed between people. Le Figaro.
Her words are as harsh as her voice is soft. Through these lines, we sense that she has come a long way, from those years when "nothing stands in the way of the night." Perhaps this is why she has risen so high and so magnificently in her way of writing about the world. She.
Delphine de Vigan judges nothing and no one. She forbids herself any form of compassion, and draws no moral conclusions. She bears witness, and that is the essential thing. BibliObs.
