Title : Ru - Kim Thuy - book Summary : A woman travels through the chaos of memories: childhood in her golden cage in Saigon, the arrival of communism in fearful South Vietnam, escape in the belly of a boat off the Gulf of Siam, internment in a refugee camp in Malaysia, the first shivers in the cold of Quebec. A story between war and peace, Ru speaks of emptiness and overflow, loss and beauty. From this tumult, tragicomic incidents, ordinary objects emerge as landmarks on a journey.

Title : Rumors of Rain - André Brink - book Summary : Martin Mynhardt is the man "who has everything": brilliant position, pretty wife, attractive mistress, two beautiful children, security... He is the typical Afrikaner, the white man sure of himself and his family, totally blind to the reality around him. And yet, it will take barely three days for Martin's world to tip over and collapse. Those whom Martin loved the most, quietly confusing love with possession, love with domination, move away from him in the terrible turmoil of South African political reality... André Brink set Rumours of Rain on the eve of the Soweto riots. Through Martin, he gives us a remarkable image of white South African society, in its precarious balance. Behind the beauty of the images, beyond the sumptuousness of the setting and the very beautiful love scenes, this is an implacable indictment of apartheid, like the other novels of the great writer André Brink: In the Darkest Night, A Moment in the Wind, A Dry White Season (Prix Médicis étranger), A Turbulent Silence.
