Title : The Help - Kathryn Stockett - book
Summary :
In Jackson, Mississippi, white people's homes are cleaned, cooked, and cared for by Black women. It's 1962, and racial laws are in force. In forty years of service, Aibileen has learned to hold her tongue. Her sassy best friend, Minny, has just been fired. If things get worse, she'll have to look for work in another city. Maybe even move to another state, like Constantine, who hasn't been seen here since, for reasons unmentionable, the Phelans fired her.
But Skeeter, the Phelans' daughter, isn't like the others. Returning to Jackson after graduation, she's determined to find out why Constantine, who lovingly raised her for 22 years, left without even a note. A young white bourgeois woman and two black maids. No one would believe their friendship; even fewer would tolerate it. Yet, driven by a deep desire to change things, despite their fear, they will unite their destinies and, in great secrecy, write a moving story.
Exciting, funny, moving, The Color of Feelings has conquered America with its unforgettable characters. Selling over two million copies, this debut novel, a true cultural phenomenon across the Atlantic, is a pure joy to read.

And the only compatible donor has vanished into thin air. Fathers, sons, a plagiarizing journalist, a serial killer, a mess of problems and bills to settle.

Title : The Ice Princess - Camilla Läckberg - book
Summary :
Grand Prix for Detective Literature Foreign Novel 2008 - Cognac Prize - Polar for the best international novel 2008 Thirty-five-year-old Erica Falck, a biography writer living in a sleepy town on the Swedish west coast, discovers the body of a childhood friend, Alexandra Wijkner, with her wrists slashed, naked in a bathtub of frozen water. Unwillingly drawn into the investigation (unless a certain natural tendency to pry into other people's lives is at work here), Erica quickly becomes convinced that it is not a suicide. On this point—and on many others—Detective Patrik Hedström, lovesick, agrees with her. In search of the truth, spurred on by a budding romance, Erica, a Desperate Housewives-style home investigator, dives into the layers of a small provincial society she thought she knew well and uncovers its secrets, all the darker as the body of a tramp painter is soon found - another staged suicide. Beyond an obvious mastery of the rules of the investigation and its twists and turns, Camilla Läckberg knows how to marvelously portray complex characters and - entirely in the vein of creators like Simenon or Chabrol - dissect a small community whose tranquil surface hides waters that are much murkier than one might think. Camilla Läckberg, born on August 30, 1974, is the author of five crime novels featuring Erica Falck, each set in Fjällbacka, a fishing port on the west coast of Sweden that had its heyday but is now in decline. In Sweden, all of her books have been bestsellers in recent years, alongside Stieg Larsson's Millennium.

Title : The Star Maker - UNICEF - Mélissa Da Costa - book
Summary : “You taught me an essential lesson today. I thought I was doing the right thing, but you're right. We always seek happiness far from home. We believe it's found in exotic places, in different landscapes, in new scents, in imposing buildings. That's not always true, is it? Sometimes happiness is just sitting on a hill, the three of us.” Through a moving story, Mélissa Da Costa proves once again that imagination has no limits, and that there is no greater power than love to heal the deepest wounds.
