Title : The Great Fire - Jeanne Bourin - Book Summary : The fire at Fréteval Castle brings Bernold, a young master glassmaker, and Isambour, a canvas embroiderer, together. They love each other. With a tender and passionate love. But the young girl's uncle wants to marry her to the miller's son. Bernold kidnaps Isambour. After this chivalrous abduction, he takes her to Blois and marries her. A novel of this love that lasts the twenty years of the couple's life, The Great Fire is also a story of the entire feudal society of the early 12th century. Around Blois, and in the Loir Valley, villages and towns, churches and fortified keeps are built; Princess Adèle, daughter of William the Conqueror, introduces a new way of life; crusaders return from the Holy Land; epidemics and famines are evoked in passing. As in the Bayeux tapestries, which have just been completed, it is a whole changing world - from peasants to artisans and lords - that Jeanne Bourin reveals here, and brings back to life.

Title : Solar - Ian McEwan - Book Summary : Michael Beard is well into his fifties. He's bald, plump, unattractive, and morally unimpressive. But he once won the Nobel Prize in Physics; since then, he's been resting on his laurels, endlessly retconning the same lectures, charging exorbitant fees. At the same time, he half-heartedly supports a government project on global warming. As for his private life, it also leaves something to be desired. An inveterate womanizer, Beard sees his fifth wife slip away from him. Just when he thought he no longer cared about her, he's consumed by jealousy. Soon, thanks to an accident, he thinks he's found a way to overcome his troubles, relaunch his career, while saving the planet from climate disaster. He's going to set off again around the world, starting with the North Pole... Through the misadventures of this narcissistic predator, incapable of restraint, Ian McEwan addresses the most current issues. And on these very serious subjects, he manages to make us laugh.
