Augsbourg, 1935. Le bonheur semble enfin de retour à la villa aux étoffes : l'usine textile des Melzer a surmonté la crise économique et les enfants de Marie et Paul quittent peu à peu le nid. Mais l'idéologie nazie qui se propage dans le pays vient mettre en péril le fragile équilibre que la famille Melzer a mis tant de temps à trouver. Quand des rumeurs sur son origine juive se répandent en ville, Marie est contrainte de céder son prospère atelier de couture. Quant à Paul, il n'arrive plus à dormir sous la pression constante de ses amis qui lui conseillent de divorcer d'urgence. Pour protéger ses proches, Marie doit prendre une décision douloureuse, mais nécessaire, qui bouleversera la vie de tous pour toujours... Au coeur des heures les plus sombres de l'histoire allemande, raison et passion se heurtent à l'impitoyable réalité dans ce nouveau tome captivant, digne de Downton Abbey. [Payot.ch]

Elizabeth Gilbert, autora superventas de Come, reza, ama, presenta un relato inspirador que actúa como guía hacia una vida vibrante y plena. La mayoría de las personas poseen una faceta creativa que rara vez desarrollan por diversas razones. Gilbert aboga por la exploración de esta creatividad para lograr una existencia completa, superando miedos como la vergüenza y el temor al ridículo. La autora ofrece consejos sobre cómo mantener una relación positiva con la creatividad, ser disciplinado sin tomarse demasiado en serio, y cómo cada pequeño acto cotidiano, como dibujar o decorar, alimenta nuestra esencia creativa. Además, desmitifica la imagen del artista atormentado, promoviendo una actitud abierta y receptiva hacia la inspiración, basada en la curiosidad, la disciplina y la determinación que controlan el ego y ayudan a afrontar decepciones. En sus palabras, "La creatividad es sagrada y al mismo tiempo no lo es. Lo que hacemos importa muchísimo y al mismo tiempo no importa nada. Trabajamos en soledad, y nos acompañan espíritus. Estamos aterrorizados y somos valientes. El arte es una tarea abrumadora y un privilegio maravilloso. El trabajo quiere ser hecho, y quiere ser hecho por ti."

Over the course of their lives, they will face test after test. But they will also find joy as they wait patiently for a day when they are exiles no more, and will find friends in the most unlikely of places.
