Quite simply one of the best crime novels of recent years: a fascinating dive into the world of forensic psychiatry and the daily life inside high-security prisons and psychiatric institutions, between Lyon and the French countryside.

Would you, like the author of this novel, travel to the Sudetenland in the Czech Republic to trace your German-speaking Czech ancestors? To try and understand the ideological and cultural path of this minority during WWII? A novel-investigation worthy of a historian, told with deep emotion and humility.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Difficulty level<\/strong>: The novel is aimed at an audience with a solid knowledge of French (B2 level achieved or in progress).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Camille Laurens, <em>Ta promesse<\/em> (Gallimard)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>When does a love relationship become toxic?
