This novel tells the life of Charlotte Salomon, a painter who died at the age of twenty-six while pregnant. After a childhood in Berlin marked by a family tragedy, Charlotte is progressively excluded by the Nazis from all spheres of German society. She lives a fundamental love passion, before having to leave everything to take refuge in France. Exiled, she undertakes the composition of an autobiographical pictorial work of fascinating modernity. Knowing she is in danger, she entrusts her drawings to her doctor, saying: "It's all my life." A striking portrait of an exceptional woman, an evocation of a tragic destiny, Charlotte is also the story of a quest. That of a writer obsessed by an artist, and who sets out to meet her.
David Foenkinos, is a French novelist, playwright, screenwriter and director who studied both literature and music in Paris.
