Synopsis
International literary phenomenon, multiple award-winner, and massive bestseller with over 500,000 copies in print in France and rights sold in 24 countries, Charlotte tells a fictionalized version of Charlotte Salomon s story with passion, life, humor, and intelligent observation. An utterly original tribute to Charlotte Salomon s tragic life and transcendent art, Foenkinos s novel is the result of a long-cherished desire to honor this young artist. Infused with the emotion of a writer who connects deeply with his subject, and masterfully and sensitively translated by Sam Taylor, Charlotte is a triumph of creative expression, a monument to genius stilled too soon, and an ode to the will to survive.
