The Stolen Life of Colette Marceau
A Novel
INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER<BR> <BR>New York Times bestselling author Kristin Harmel returns with a “dazzling diamond of a novel” (Hazel Gaynor, New York Times bestselling author of Before Dorothy) about two jewel thieves, a priceless bracelet that disappears in 1940s Paris, and a quest for answers in a decades-old murder.<BR><BR>Colette Marceau has been stealing jewels for nearly as long as she can remember, following the centuries-old code of honor instilled in her by her mother, Annabel: take only from the cruel and unkind, and give to those in need. Never was their family tradition more important than seven decades earlier, during the Second World War, when Annabel and Colette worked side by side in Paris to fund the French Resistance.<BR> <BR>But one night in 1942, it all went wrong. Annabel was arrested by the Germans, and Colette’s four-year-old sister, Liliane, disappeared in the chaos of the raid, along with an exquisite diamond bracelet sewn into the hem of her nightgown for safekeeping. Soon after, Annabel was executed, and Liliane’s body was found floating in the Seine—but the bracelet was nowhere to be found.<BR> <BR>Seventy years later, Colette—who has “redistributed” $30 million in jewels over the decades to fund many worthy organizations—has done her best to put her tragic past behind her, but her life begins to unravel when the long-missing bracelet suddenly turns up in a museum exhibit in Boston. If Colette can discover where it has been all this time—and who owns it now—she may finally learn the truth about what happened to her sister. But she isn’t the only one for whom the bracelet holds answers, and when someone from her childhood lays claim to the diamonds, she’s forced to confront the ghosts of her past as never before. Against all odds, there may still be a chance to bring a murderer to justice—but first, Colette will have to summon the courage to open her own battered heart.

Farò di tutto per tornare da te
Per le strade illuminate di Parigi, Ruby si era immaginata una vita piena di fascino e magia. Ma nulla è andato come sperava. Ormai non è più il tempo di scambiarsi confidenze e sogni con Charlotte, la bimba ebrea che vive nel suo palazzo, mentre ammirano Notre-Dame e il lento scorrere della Senna. Perché l¿eco minacciosa della guerra si fa sentire sempre più vicino e Charlotte è presto costretta a indossare la stella di David, un simbolo che per lei significa molto e che ora le appare all¿improvviso incomprensibile. Niente intorno a Ruby è più lo stesso. Tutto le fa paura. Fino al giorno in cui un uomo ferito bussa alla sua porta: è Thomas, un pilota della Raf in cerca di aiuto per non cadere nelle mani naziste. Grazie a lui, Ruby scopre l¿esistenza di una rete nascosta di uomini e donne pronti a rischiare la propria vita per salvare gli altri. Le basta un attimo per decidere di unirsi a loro. Vuole prendersi cura di Thomas. Ma non solo: la famiglia di Charlotte è stata deportata in un campo di concentramento, insieme a migliaia di altri ebrei. Ora Ruby deve fare di tutto per proteggerla. In un mondo sconvolto, giorno dopo giorno, Ruby e Thomas si avvicinano sempre di più e aprono il loro cuore, per permettere all¿amore di vincere. Ma in quei tempi bui non c¿è spazio per le emozioni. C¿è spazio solo per l¿orrore. E Ruby si trova davanti a scelte difficili: salvare Charlotte o rinunciare alla propria felicità, perdendo Thomas per sempre. Scelte che lasciano sul cuore una cicatrice che forse non scomparirà mai.

So che ci rivedremo presto
Emily è ferma davanti alla tela e non può fare a meno di fissarla. Quando le è stato recapitato il pacco, proveniente da una galleria d¿arte tedesca, dapprima ha pensato a un errore. Poi lo ha aperto e, negli occhi della donna ritratta, ha riconosciuto la persona che l¿ha cresciuta e che ora le manca più che mai, sua nonna. Ora che intorno a lei il lavoro, l¿amore e la vita vanno a rotoli. Non ha idea di chi possa averle mandato il quadro, né tantomeno chi sia l¿autore della dedica scritta a mano. Poche semplici parole che esprimono un sentimento profondo. Sicuramente non suo nonno, che ha abbandonato la famiglia senza più dare notizie. Mille domande affollano la mente di Emily, che decide di indagare. Deve andare in Germania per capire cosa leghi quel paese a sua nonna. Passo dopo passo, quei luoghi le raccontano di un passato segreto e sconosciuto. Le raccontano delle sue radici in modo inaspettato, quasi inaccettabile. Per Emily la seconda guerra mondiale era stata sino ad allora solo un capitolo di storia da studiare a scuola. Ora invece scopre che è parte della sua famiglia. Scopre che quel periodo buio ha fatto da sfondo a un grande e impossibile amore. È arrivato il tempo per Emily di ricostruire le proprie origini e venire a patti con le scelte che ha fatto, con la rinuncia che le brucia nel cuore. Perché oggi, come ieri, bisogna avere il coraggio di credere nei propri desideri, di dire la verità anche se fa male, di dare spazio al possibile.
