Suspended sentences : three novellas / by Modiano, Patrick,1945-author.(CARDINAL)708623; Polizzotti, Mark,translator.(CARDINAL)305634; Modiano, Patrick,1945-Chien de printemps.English.(CARDINAL)617958; Modiano, Patrick,1945-Fleurs de ruine.English.(CARDINAL)617964; Modiano, Patrick,1945-Remise de peine.English.(CARDINAL)617968;
"Although originally published separately, Modiano's three novellas form a single ... whole, haunted by the same gauzy sense of place and characters. Modiano draws on his own experiences, blended with the real or invented stories of others, to present a dreamlike autobiography that is also the biography of a place. Orphaned children, mysterious parents, forgotten friends, enigmatic strangers--each appears in this three-part love song to a Paris that no longer exists"--Amazon.com.2014 winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature.

The first lady of Fleet Street : the life of Rachel Beer : crusading heiress and newspaper pioneer / by Negev, Eilat.(CARDINAL)684527; Koren, Yehuda(Writer in English)(CARDINAL)467553;

Rich with period detail and drawing on a wealth of original material, this never-before-told story recounts the ascent of two of London's most prominent Jewish immigrant families--the Sassoons and the Beers. Born into one, Rachel married into the other, wedding newspaper proprietor Frederick Beer, the sole heir to his father's enormous fortune. Though she and Frederick became leading London socialites, Rachel was ambitious and unwilling to settle for an idle life. She used her husband's platform to assume the editorship of not one but two venerable Sunday newspapers--the Sunday Times and The Observer--a stunning accomplishment at a time when women were denied the vote and allowed little access to education. Rachel Beer remains a pivotal figure in the annals of journalism--and the long march toward equality between the sexes.--From publisher description.

Mirror of our sorrows / by Lemaître, Pierre,1951-Author(DLC)n 2011048365; Wynne, FrankTranslator(DLC)n 99042527;
April, 1940. Louise Belmont runs, naked, down the boulevard du Montparnasse. To understand the tragic scene she has just experienced, she will have to plunge into the madness of the 'Phoney War', when the whole of France, seized by the panic of a new World War, descends into chaos. Alongside bistro-owner Monsieur Jules, new recruit Gabriel and small-time crook Raoul, Louise navigates this period of enormous upheaval and extraordinary twists of fate, for as the Nazi's advance, the threat of German occupation will uncover long-buried secrets and make strange bedfellows. With his characteristic wit and verve, Pierre Lemaitre chronicles the greatness and decline of a people crushed by circumstance. In 'Mirror of Our Sorrows', the final novel in the Paris between-the-wars trilogy, is an incandescent tale that is both burlesque and tragic.
