The Book of the Baltimores
Joël Dicker rescues Marcus Goldman, protagonist of his great novel The Truth About the Harry Quebert Affair, in The Book of the Baltimores. More than 15,000,000 readers By the winner of the Goncourt des Lycéens Prize, the Grand Prix du Roman de l'Académie Française, the Lire Prize, the Qué Leer Prize and the San Clemente Prize. #AddictedToDicker «The Book of the Baltimores is a titanic, Nabokovian novel, highly recommended.» «If you find this book, please read it. I would like someone to know the story of the Goldman-of-Baltimores». Until the Drama occurred, there were two branches of the Goldman family: the Goldman of Baltimore and the Goldman of Montclair. The Montclairs, of which Marcus Goldman, author of The Truth About the Harry Quebert Affair, is a member, are a middle-class family living in a small house in the state of New Jersey. The Baltimores, prosperous and always lucky, inhabit a luxurious mansion in an upscale neighborhood of Baltimore. Eight years after the Drama, Marcus Goldman scrutinizes the past in search of the truth about the family's decline. Among the memories of his youth, he relives the fascination he felt since childhood for the Baltimores, who embodied patrician America with their vacations in Miami and the Hamptons and their elite schools. As the years pass, the brilliant patina of the Baltimores fades as the Drama takes shape. Until the day everything changes forever. Critic's opinion: «In just a few weeks, The Book of the Baltimores has reached the top of the best-seller lists and we know why. We look for every free minute in our daily lives -on the subway, on the bus, in a queue- to immerse ourselves in its reading.» «With The Truth About the Harry Quebert Affair, he won two of the main French awards, the Grand Prix du Roman de l'Académie Française and the Goncourt des Lycéens, and became one of the main European sales phenomena of the decade. Now, with The Book of the Baltimores, he has managed to recover each and every one of the ingredients of the previous work (starting with its narrator, the writer Marcus Goldman).» |
