I'm Coming Back from Others, Mélissa Da Costa
As profound as they may seem, you never tire of diving into one of Mélissa Da Costa's novels. Even more so when she takes us to Arvieux, a charming village in the Hautes-Alpes, just a stone's throw from the ski slopes. It's in this community that Philippe, a married man and father in his 40s, has sent Ambre, a young woman barely in her 20s with whom he had been involved and who attempted to take her own life. In this hotel where she is about to begin the winter season as a waitress and knows no one, Ambre will gradually learn to live without Philippe, to rebuild herself, and to open up to others: Rosalie, Tim, Andrea, Wilson... An ode to friendship, resilience, and renewal.

Together, We Bark in Silence, Gringe
There’s Thibault and there’s Guillaume, better known as Gringe. One moves forward with his head down, while the other is more reserved. Two brothers with relatively opposite personalities, but who complement each other wonderfully in their own way. In 2001, the diagnosis hits: Thibault is affected by schizophrenia, and everything changes. So they start to share it all. The pain, the shame, the love, the dreams… In this poignant yet incomparably tender book, Guillaume and Thibault combine their voices with those that shape Thibault's everyday life to break stereotypes and deliver the most beautiful tale of brotherhood.

Tel-Aviv Colorado, Joann Sfar
In this 17th notebook, written on the eve of the 2022 presidential elections, Joann Sfar shares a mix of his reflections as he travels from Tel-Aviv to the United States, via Crete. His thoughts are sometimes intimate, sometimes universal, swinging between political and philosophical, offering a nuanced look at our world, which can often feel a bit too black-and-white. With each page, the setting changes, making us witnesses to snatched scenes from around the globe, all set against a backdrop of a fragmented family tapestry.
