Title : A heartache and elsewhere - Françoise Mallet-Joris - Book Summary : "Allegra was already the moving portrait of a woman who loses her footing in a hopeless novel, and Dickie Roi, the expression of the same blind quest. Jeannette, her new heroine, is their sister. If she drinks, if she finds herself in detoxification treatment in a pretty flowery clinic, it is not only to forget her heavy forties, nor her husband who is cheating on her with Marie-Christine, his young, ambitious assistant. She lacks a meaning to life, no doubt." Matthieu Galey, L'express "Not a feminist? Surely! But heartbreaking with truths so hard to say, and which Françoise Mallet-Joris does not hesitate to repeat, and differently, while a busy world is busy, everyone sucking up to the boss... It is Jeannette the purest drunkard; the toughest, the loneliest too, it's true, it's as if it were the price to pay! No, it's not just a little love story, this heartache and elsewhere...

Title : A Perfect Body - Eve Ensler - Book Summary : Here a nose job, there a Botox treatment, elsewhere an endless diet: everywhere women remain subject to this implacable law of beauty, everywhere established canons push them to mutilate themselves, to endure deprivation, to put their lives in danger. Sometimes, and even often, of their own free will... After having humorously broken the last taboos concerning female sexuality in the now famous Vagina Monologues, Eve Ensler looks with the determination and humor for which she is known at the tyranny of the perfect body. She traces the journeys of women from very different backgrounds: the director of a New York women's magazine, an uninhibited Indian woman in her fifties, a bulimic Arab girl. All recount their alienation, the dictates of appearance, their thirst for resistance or, on the contrary, their abdication in the face of the demands of the culture in which they grew up. Between two stories, like a common thread, the author deliciously inveighs against her stomach - which she always finds too fat - and denounces with scathing frankness the violence done to women.

Title : One Summer - Vincent Almendros - book Summary : My brother, Jean, had just bought a sailboat and invited me to spend a few days at sea. I wasn't sure it was a good idea for us to go on vacation together. When I say "we," I wasn't thinking of Jean. I was thinking of Jeanne. Jeanne and me. "You shouldn't miss Vincent Almendros's second novel. This 36-year-old author manages the feat, in troubled waters and in 96 pages, of simultaneously containing a love story, a maritime thriller, a tale of brotherhood, and an open-air closed-door novel. All three are ambiguous, and the mystery only emerges, cruel and sneering, on the very last page. Pierre, the narrator, embarks in Naples on his brother Jean's sailboat. The former came with the blonde Lone, his Swedish girlfriend who is finishing a thesis on gender equality. The latter has lived for seven years with Jeanne, the brunette, with whom Pierre was once a lover. The boat glides slowly toward Capri. It is scorching hot. The air is unbreathable. Bodies are oozing. By day, the sea is oily, and by night, tarry. Jellyfish proliferate, traveling back in time and the current with their opaline umbels. Pierre and Jeanne observe each other, brush past each other, get closer, and find themselves in the cabin. Nothing is emphasized. Everything is suggested. An astonishing painter of atmosphere, Vincent Almendros writes in watercolor. It is literature. And the best. (Jérôme Garcin, Le Nouvel Observateur) Un été was published in 2015.

Title : A Diamond as Big as the Ritz - Francis Scott Fitzgerald - book Summary : In Fitzgerald's eyes, Hemingway said, the rich were a special breed, surrounded by a mysterious prestige. All his life, the author of "The Gatsby" searched for his "Diamond as Big as the Ritz," the title of the disturbing and delicious masterpiece that opens this collection of short stories. In this fairy tale, in which we see a poor young man enter, at his own risk, a fabulous estate with halls of sapphires and mountains of diamonds, how can we fail to recognize the central theme of his entire work? The thirty short stories collected by his friend and contemporary Malcolm Cowley constitute the most representative part of the art of the extravagant, melancholic, and tender Fitzgerald. Behind the glitter of the Roaring Twenties, we glimpse the extraordinary and sad destiny of the great jazz-age entertainer, hero and martyr of the "Lost Generation."

Title : A Path in the World - Naipaul - book Summary : With painful intensity and restrained compassion, VS Naipaul reflects on his past and that of Trinidad and the Caribbean.

Title : A Strangled Scream - Anne Perry - book Summary : What could a father and son from London's upper crust be guilty of to deserve the bloody beating they received in one of the city's most sordid neighborhoods?

"While she indulges in the picturesque, without claiming to be a historian or sociologist, Anne Perry doesn't mince her words. When she lifts the veil, nothing escapes her: prostitution, incest, pedophilia, clandestine abortions, corruption - needless to say, those who hold the upper hand are not the least compromised.
