Wieso erfahre ich über Charlotte Salomon erst jetzt?! Schon lange nicht mehr habe ich ein Buch innerhalb eines Tages so verschlungen, das wird jetzt jedem Bekannten liebevoll aufgedrückt!

A ma grande surprise, les larmes n'ont pas coulées (même si ça a faillit en être le cas à de nombreuses reprises). La seule raison pour laquelle je ne donne pas cinq étoiles à cette oeuvre, c'est parce qu'au fond, j'aurais voulu qu'elle ne se termine jamais. J'aurais voulu en savoir toujours plus sur Charlotte, me plonger véritablement et pleinement dans sa psyché pour ne jamais en ressortir : une forme d'égoïsme assumée. Mais bon, on ne peut pas tout avoir donc merci à Foenkinos est son travail de recherche remarquable de m'avoir fait découvrir cette artiste et la tragédie que fut son existence.

What can I say? This novel was absolutely beautiful and unforgettable!
I'm not the biggest fan of art so I had never heard of Charlotte Salomon prior to reading this, but I can now say that she deserves so much more recognition. Reading about her horrendous childhood and fight for survival during the Nazi regime is absolutely eye-opening and heartbreaking. Her pure talent managed to capture such raw emotion and her art is so important and beautiful.
