Journalists from Center France searched the “new releases” section of bookstores to find six books to recommend:
In the 1st century AD
The first story of Frédéric Gros. Théoklïa is largely unknown today. And yet, in the 1st century AD, this aristocrat from the Roman colony of Iconium cast off all the moorings of her predestined life as a wife and mother to enter religion and follow Paul of Tarsus.
Skilled in revisiting historical facts, Frédéric Gros brilliantly brings to life his exceptional story, which some consider to be the first Christian story, not without forging links with our world. When questions of faith, truth or equality reveal their universality. (Albin Michel, 198 pages, 19,90 €)
Blandine Hutin-Mercier
A romantic comedy that turns into a thriller
Your promise from Camille Laurens. A romantic comedy that turns into a thriller. It’s insidious, almost imperceptible. Modeled on the feelings of Claire, the woman who succumbs to Gilles’ charm. Love at first sight, a beautiful and luminous love, rare and unexpected in well-established lives.
