Synopsis
Charlotte Salomon is born into a family stricken by suicide and a country at war. But there is something exceptional about her - she has a gift, a talent for painting. And she has a great love, for a brilliant, eccentric musician. But just as she is coming into her own as an artist, death is coming to control her country. The Nazis have come to power and, as a Jew in Berlin, Charlotte's life is narrowing, and she knows every second is precious.
Inspiring, unflinching, terrible and hopeful, Charlotte is the heartbreaking true story of a life filled with curiosity, animated by genius and cut short by hatred.

Review
"I am deeply, deeply affected by this sad, beautiful, indignant, wrenching, important book . . . It is an artistic privilege and (I think) almost a moral duty that you all read this" (SARAH PERRY, author of THE ESSEX SERPENT)
"Foenkinos writes arrestingly about Charlotte, masterfully imagining her interior life . . . So much space on the page visually transforms each paragraph into a stanza, while lending the words a solemn weight and power . . . [A] beautiful, wretched story" (Guardian)
"An astonishing novel. Every line has something profound to say about love and loss, hope and fear, time and memory, and the enduring power of art" (ANDREW MICHAEL HURLEY, author of THE LONEY)
"From its striking first sentence there is no turning away . . . A far superior tribute to any commemorative plaque" (SARA BAUME Irish Times)
"Each sentence begins on a new line, giving it the deceptive look of a long poem. The success of this approach, loyally managed by Sam Taylor in his translation, is the make Charlotte read as a series of tricker-tape bulletins, delivered in breathless fits and starts" (London Review of Books)
"Unforgettable, poetic" (Sunday Independent)
"Quietly but deeply moving, incredibly powerful in its simplicity" (CLAIRE NORTH, author of THE FIRST FIFTEEN LIVES OF HARRY AUGUST)
"A life-changer" (POLLY CLARK, author of LARCHFIELD)
"A tour de force. Every important detail and much more of this supreme artist's life . . . is recorded lovingly, passionately, obsessively and lyrically . . . The verse-like narrative . . . produces a befittingly vibrant creativity" (Jewish Chronicle)
"The reader follows, lump in the throat, fascinated by this tragic fate, which is told with the utmost precision" (Livres Hebdo)
