This novel traces the life of Charlotte Salomon, a painter who died at the age of twenty-six while pregnant.

She experienced a founding love affair, before having to leave everything behind to seek refuge in France. Exiled, she began composing an autobiographical pictorial work of fascinating modernity. Knowing she was in danger, she entrusted her drawings to her doctor, telling him: "This is my whole life." A striking portrait of an exceptional woman, an evocation of a tragic destiny, Charlotte is also the story of a quest. That of a writer haunted by an artist, who sets out in search of her.
