I Am Malala
Summary
Audie Award Finalist, Biography/Memoir, 2014 When the Taliban took control of the Swat Valley in Pakistan, one girl spoke out. Malala Yousafzai refused to be silenced and fought for her right to an education. On Tuesday, October 9, 2012, when she was fifteen, she almost paid the ultimate price. She was shot in the head at point-blank range while riding the bus home from school, and few expected her to survive. Instead, Malala's miraculous recovery has taken her on an extraordinary journey from a remote valley in northern Pakistan to the halls of the United Nations in New York. At sixteen, she has become a global symbol of peaceful protest and the youngest nominee ever for the Nobel Peace Prize. I am Malala is the remarkable tale of a family uprooted by global terrorism, of the fight for girls' education, of a father who, himself a school owner, championed and encouraged his daughter to write and attend school, and of brave parents who have a fierce love for their daughter in a society that prizes sons. I am Malala will make you believe in the power of one person's voice to inspire change in the world.

Summary
1859. Grace Marks, condamnée à perpétuité, tourne lentement en rond dans la cour d'un pénitencier canadien. À l'âge de seize ans, elle a été accusée de deux meurtres horribles. Personne n'a jamais su si elle était coupable, innocente ou folle. Lors de son procès, après avoir donné trois versions des faits, elle s'est murée dans le silence : amnésie ou dissimulation ? Le docteur Simon Jordan, jeune et prometteur spécialiste de la maladie mentale, veut découvrir la vérité. Il obtient l'autorisation de rencontrer Grace, de la faire longuement parler... Avec lui, la prisonnière va dévider le terrible fuseau de ses souvenirs : son enfance irlandaise, l'agonie de sa mère sur le bateau qui les emmène au Canada, ses emplois de domestique, la mort de sa seule amie... À écouter ce récit, Grace ne semble ni démente ni criminelle, et pourtant, que sont ces troublants rêves qu'elle cache à Jordan : cauchemars, hallucinations ou réminiscences d'actes monstrueux ?
