Title : Angela's Ashes - Frank McCourt - book Summary : When I look back on my childhood, the mere fact of having survived amazes me. It was, of course, a miserable childhood: a happy childhood is rarely worth dwelling on. Worse than the ordinary miserable childhood is the miserable childhood in Ireland. And worse still is the miserable childhood in Catholic Ireland. " This is what Frank McCourt describes in this autobiographical account. The father, Malachy, is an irresponsible charmer. When, by chance, he finds work, he goes drinking his wages in pubs and comes home at night bawling patriotic songs. Angela, the mother, swallows her pride to beg. Frankie, the eldest of the siblings, watches the little ones, gets up to mischief with his friends. And, above all, observes the adult world. The magic of Frank McCourt is to have rediscovered his child's perspective, to revive the most miserable of pasts without any bitterness.

Title : Carmody's Crusade - John Tittensor - book Summary : What a story! A brave Australian returning from London—where he was staying in a psychiatric asylum—discovers that his dear mother has died in his absence. So far, nothing out of the ordinary. But then, the maternal remains perform miracle after miracle. And our poor hero finds himself plunged into the heart of a fierce battle between two teams of American nuns (one lesbian, the other nymphos), each wanting to secure exclusive rights to the holy woman's remains. From this succinct summary, we will have understood that Carmody's Crusade is not an austere novel. One word to describe it: hilarious.

Title : If we remain silent... The martyrdom of the monks of Tibhirine - Rene Guitton - book Summary : Montyon Prize 2002 Let us remember. On May 21, 1996, seven monks who came to Algeria, to the monastery of Tibhirine, had their throats slit by members of the GIA. René Guitton spent his childhood in North Africa, immersed himself in the religions of Abraham, and experienced with emotion the presence of the Church in the land of Islam. After the tragedy, he felt the need to seek the truth. Aided by the testimonies of the victims' families, the highest religious authorities, Christian and Muslim, politicians, secret services, and anonymous witnesses, he unraveled the threads of this tragic imbroglio. Both a quest and an investigation, this work aims to seek the light as did Christian, Christophe, Luc, Paul, Michel, Bruno and Célestin, the seven monks of Tibhirine.

Title : The Cods - Titiou Lecoq - book Summary : This is the story of the Morues, three girls - Ema, Gabrielle, and Alice - and a boy - Fred - thirty-something feminists caught up in their romantic and professional turpitudes. A book that begins with a tribute to Kurt Cobain, continues like a detective story, grabs you like a political journalism thriller, reveals the underside of the privatization of public services, and finally ends with a novel about how we love and desire each other in France, in the age of the internet. It is the novel of an era, ours. Thrilling in its thriller section, sensitive when it recounts the energy expended by women to preserve their independence, Les Morues paints an insolent portrait of an era without instructions. An excellent first novel. Be. Well written in a neglected scholarly style, this is a stunning, funny and instructive first novel. The Chained Duck.

Title : In the Heart of a Golden Summer - Anne Serre - book Summary : "In what life did I set these murderous snares? It seems so distant. I will never know why I was a murderer, but there may be no explanations. We always believe there are, but I have seen many cases where there were none." In this thirty-three-faceted self-portrait, celebrities and writers mingle with scenes of everyday life. An unknown mother who resembles Liz Taylor, a tenderly loved father who thinks he is Musset, a married lover who plays with a revolver, another who appears on the day of Beckett's death. By turns man or woman, murderer or vulnerable, the narrator blurs the lines and questions reality. Is the truth always worth telling?

Title : Greta Garbo - Jean Lacouture - book Summary : It was a September day in 1951, towards the end of the morning. On the sidewalk of the Rue de Rivoli, along the arcades between the Louvre and the Concorde, I saw two tall women approaching me. The face of one suddenly caught my eye. That face? Yes, it was her! No glasses, no protective hat, her hair down to her shoulders in large, light locks, a marine look. Already, I had to turn around to see her. And I, who had never dared to follow a woman in the street, envying the audacity of the heroes of Morand and Drieu, fell in step with her along the paths of the Tuileries...
