Finally, I leave for holidays! I prepare my luggage prepare the luggage of all the family and I do not forget to slide in it the “crush” books advised by Nathalie and Ghisaline, our dear librarians of the Library Louis Notari. I spent some time with them and here is what they offer as some special summer reading. I am telling you, the library is open to everybody for a little break, read journals, work in full relax or even do some researches…without forgetting the team support! We love it!

Why this book? What the world would be if there were no differences in the personalities. Each of us express and present themselves as we are trying to fit and adapt to a society where it is not always that easy. This book is a crush, as it teaches us to know the other in all his shapes and behaviours. A nice novel, at the sime time cruel and soft, who bring us in the life of its three battered characters. It is a book full of philosophy who make us want to enjoy small things that life offers, but also inspire us to think, especially about family and getting older. The author exploits our primary fears in order to offer a vibrant and unexpected novel for those who can be patient.

Gréco, an elder lady, interior designer, overlook this house with passion. One day she discovers the two young ladies, dancing on some neo-hippie genre. Gréco is as cool and conservative, opposite of the two girls who are sensual, naked and volcanic. This novel is the story of their encounter. It gets together places and times as well as utopia and shapes that seem far from each other in a dreamy atmosphere. In reading the book something seems to delete time and distances.
Why this book? Another pink adventure leading to the reading of a true story who took place just next to the Principality. In a sublime environment of this bizarre villa contoured by history, the characters involve us with the mind and with the heart. The breath-taking descriptions, a villa that still exists and who hosted numerous individuals. A surprising novel who inspire curiosity also for those thinking of knowing the Principality.
