Fiction: “Pardonner Paris” by Karen Kingsbury

Over two decades ago, Ashley Baxter Blake made her most serious mistake in Paris. Now a forgotten voice brings new information about this terrible time, which makes Ashley see this experience in a whole new light. Can she finally let go of yesterday’s pain and move on? In Paris, Alice Michel dines with her son Gabe and her new friend Jessie Taylor, an Indiana who is studying abroad for the semester. Alice’s life is so good now, totally different from what it was 24 years ago. As the dinner conversation continues, Alice tells the young couple that her long-standing drug addiction nearly killed her. But then his life was saved by a conversation with an American artist. Alice remembers only the girl’s name: Ashley. Back in Indiana, Ashley and her husband are preparing to take a trip for their twentieth birthday to Paris, where she will present her first French art exhibition. But Ashley hesitates. She has never forgiven herself for what happened there. — Adapted from publisher

Documentary: “The Storyteller: tales of life and music” by David Grohl

The legendary American musician, singer, songwriter and documentary maker offers a collection of stories, written by his own hand, which focus on memories of his life, from his childhood to the present day.

Grohl offers an honest portrait of an extraordinary life made up of ordinary moments. From his deep connection to his hometown of Springfield, Virginia, to the fear he still feels about raising his daughters, he tells stories from his soul. Filled with thoughts on touring with Scream, joining Nirvana and watching it all fall apart, creating Foo Fighters when his life was at a crossroads, and now traveling the world as a father, Grohl presents himself to us as a gifted and engaging writer with a lucid perspective on celebrity. – Adapted from the jacket.

Youth: “Kaleidoscope” by Bryan Selznick

At the center of their relationship is a mystery about the nature of grief and love that will be different for each reader. “Kaleidoscope” is a storytelling feat that shines a light on how even the wildest tales can help us in the most difficult times. —Adapted from publisher
