Les Gratitudes
Summary
"Vous êtes-vous déjà demandé combien de fois dans votre vie vous aviez réellement dit merci ? Un vrai merci. L'expression de votre gratitude, de votre reconnaissance, de votre dette. À qui ? On croit toujours qu'on a le temps de dire les choses, et puis soudain c'est trop tard." Après Les Loyautés, Delphine de Vigan poursuit dans Les Gratitudes son exploration des lois intimes qui nous gouvernent. Une lecture dialoguée réalisée par quatre comédiens, qui donne toute leur épaisseur et leur sensibilité aux personnages.

No et moi
Summary
"Elle avait l'air si jeune. En même temps il m'avait semblé qu'elle connaissait vraiment la vie, ou plutôt qu'elle connaissait de la vie quelque chose qui faisait peur." Adolescente surdouée, Lou Bertignac rêve d'amour, observe les gens, collectionne les mots, multiplie les expériences domestiques et les théories fantaisistes. Jusqu'au jour où elle rencontre No, une jeune fille à peine plus âgée qu'elle. No, ses vêtements sales, son visage fatigué, No dont la solitude et l'errance questionnent le monde. Pour la sauver, Lou se lance alors dans une expérience de grande envergure menée contre le destin. Mais nul n'est à l'abri... No et moi, paru en 2007, a été traduit dans vingt-cinq langues et adapté à l'écran par Zabou Breitman.

Nothing Holds Back the Night
Summary
Only a teenager when Delphine was born, Lucile raised two daughters largely alone. She was a former child model from a Bohemian family, younger and more glamorous than the other mothers: always in lipstick, wayward and wonderful. But as Delphine grew up, Lucile's occasional sadness gave way to overwhelming despair and delusion. She became convinced she was telepathic, in control of the Paris metro system; she gave away all her money; she was hospitalized, medicated, and released in a kind of trance. Young Delphine was left to wonder: What changed her, or what shaped her all along? In this brilliant investigation into her own family history, Delphine de Vigan attempts to "write her mother," seeking out something essential as she interviews aging relatives, listens to recordings, and reads Lucile's own writings. It is a history of luminous beauty and rambunctious joy, of dark secrets and silences. There are untimely deaths and failures of memory. There are revelations and there is the ultimately unknowable. And in the face of the unknowable, personal history becomes fiction: De Vigan must choose from differing accounts and fill in important gaps, using her writer's imagination to reconstruct a life. De Vigan writes her most expansive novel yet with acute self-awareness and marvelous sympathy. Nothing Holds Back the Night is a remarkable work, universally recognizable and singularly heartbreaking.

But Lou is about to change her life - and that of her parents - all because of a school project about homeless teens. While doing research, Lou meets No, a teenage girl living on the streets. As their friendship grows, Lou bravely asks her parents if No can live with them, and is astonished when they agree. No's presence forces Lou's family to come to terms with a secret tragedy.

Winner of the prestigious Booksellers' Prize in France, No and Me is a timely and thought-provoking novel about homelessness that has far-reaching appeal.

Gratitude
Summary
Bloomsbury presents Gratitude by Delphine de Vigan, read by Oseloka Obi, Gabrielle Glaister and Aysha Kala. Marie owes Michka more than she can say - but Michka is getting older and can't look after herself any more. So Marie has moved her to a home where she’ll be safe. But Michka doesn’t feel any safer - she is haunted by strange figures who threaten to unearth her most secret buried guilt, guilt that she’s carried since she was a little girl. And she is losing her words - grasping more desperately day by day for what once came easily to her. Jérôme is a speech therapist, dispatched to help the home’s ageing population snatch and hold tight onto the speech still afforded to them. But Michka is no ordinary client. Michka has been carrying an old debt she does not know how to repay - and as her words slide out of her grasp, time is running out. Delicately wrought and darkly gripping, Gratitude is about love, loss and redemption - about what we owe one another, and the redemptive power of showing thanks.
