We inevitably think of the famous Diary of Anne Frank when we start this book.
The author looks back on a night spent in the famous Anne Frank Museum in Amsterdam and retraces the life of this young girl who lived in hiding with her family... to escape the Nazis.
A book that has won two awards this year, with around 200 pages recounting a terrible story that affects us all.
After a night in the annex, a room where her family lived for 2 years, Lola Lafon offers this moving text.

The Goncourt 2022 prize was awarded to Brigitte Giraud for this very intimate account of a family drama.
This author born in Algeria before independence also wrote a very beautiful historical novel "Un loup pour l'homme" on the story of a conscript during the war in Algeria.
This novel retraces like a countdown the drama of a life, the death of the author's husband.
How can tragedy happen?
What are the cogs of fate?
The author returns to all these questions 20 years after the loss of her half.

Annie Ernaux is the first French woman to have received the Nobel Prize for Literature, in 2022. Her work, which deals with memory, the evolution of times, the female condition is a good idea for a gift, especially to know her classics.
This book received the Renaudot prize in the 1980s. It is a story about its modest origins.
Through these lines, the author pays homage to her father, a former worker.

The author who is also a journalist received the Prix Renaudot 2022 for this autobiographical novel which mixes his life and fiction and which would almost make the life of the author a fiction in its own right.
Which would almost make us think of a certain Romain Gary, Emile Ajar... A novelist is the victim of a breakdown, or of a blank page and the passage of time.
A commission from the Rolling Stones brings his writing back to life.
Between literature and love story, you will be seduced by this book.

The novelist proposes in this novel a questioning on the borders of life.
Nature is at the heart of this story as well as the relationship to old age.
She also received the December prize for her previous novel, Les Grands Cerfs.
A young injured dog shows up at the door of a couple.
Where is he from ?
How will they receive him and take care of him?
The novelist returns to the relationship to language, to the passage of time and more broadly to humanity.

What types of books to give to a friend or family?
Literary prizes can be safe bets for gifts to your loved ones, especially when they have an affinity with the subject or the author of the book.
You can also offer more classic novels, or titles from the 2022 literary season, in particular Alice Zeniter who proposed a very beautiful text "A whole half of the world" on her relationship to fiction and the place of women in literature.
You can also opt for our selection of books to read at least once in your life...
Other novels and books indeed deserve their place under the tree... whether it's the last Goncourt prize for high school students, Beirut-sur-Seine by Sabyl Ghoussoub at Stock, or Le Mage du Kremlin by Giuliano da Empoli at Gallimard which won the 2022 French Academy Grand Prize for the Novel.
