Story
Claire arrives at her new job as researcher at a grand English country house, nursing a broken heart. But tucked into the back of a long-forgotten drawer she finds a letter written in an elegant hand. It tells of a wartime secret about the beautiful Lady Violet – whose passionate affair with an Italian prisoner of war scandalised the village and ended in tragedy. Captivated, Claire promises to find Violet’s daughter, Tabitha, and reunite her with a priceless piece of her mother’s jewellery. With only the name of an Italian bakery, Pasticceria Mancini, to guide her, and the help of her handsome neighbour Jim, Claire travels to Tabitha’s last known location – Florence.

Story
Mit ihm lernten ihre Träume fliegen. Doch sie kamen den Sternen zu nah. Paris 1930: Als die junge Malerin Consuelo auf einer Party Antoine de Saint-Exupéry kennenlernt, ist es Liebe auf den ersten Blick. Die temperamentvolle Mittelamerikanerin wird zur Muse des enigmatischen Piloten, der eigentlich viel lieber Schreiben und Zeichnen möchte. Aus seinen unsterblichen Gefühlen für sie entsteht "Der kleine Prinz": Consuelo ist die über alles geliebte Rose, die der Prinz mit einer Glasglocke schützen möchte und an die er unentwegt denkt, auf welche fremden Planeten ihn seine Reisen auch führen.

Story
Gegen den Willen ihrer Eltern zieht Grace nach New York, um Schauspielerin zu werden. Sie taucht ein in das schillernde Leben der Kunst- und Kulturboheme der 1950er-Jahre und lernt als Frau in einer Männerdomäne auch immer wieder deren Schattenseiten kennen. Und doch gelingt es ihr, sich zu behaupten, denn ihr Leben ist geprägt von ihrem unbedingten Willen zur Emanzipation: von den Eltern, den Mächtigen Hollywoods, den gesellschaftlichen Erwartungen, die an sie gestellt werden. Ihr gelingt es, sich selbst treu zu bleiben und den Ruhm zu erlangen, von dem sie immer geträumt hat.

Während das Schiff über Wien und Budapest bis ans Schwarze Meer steuert, genießt die vornehme Gesellschaft an Bord das Leben. Für die Bediensteten jedoch ist das Oberdeck tabu.

Story
Wer braucht Bücher, wenn die Butter fehlt fürs Brot? Alle, die vom Aufbruch träumen... Es geht ums Überleben, aber die junge Ruth, Tochter einer Buchhändlerfamilie, weigert sich, nur an die Butter fürs Brot zu denken. Der Vater hat für die Literatur gelebt und tüchtig war er auch. Er wollte den Namen der Familie großmachen. Die Buchhandlung erweitern. Schlimm, dass er mit ansehen musste, wie der altehrwürdige Laden am Rathaus Schöneberg ausbrannte. Das war, als würde das Feuer auch an ihm fressen. Friedrich war sein Hoffnungsträger, Ruths Ideen hat er nicht gehört.

Story
Josée a épousé Alan, un peintre américain, qu'elle croyait "bien tranquille". Mais l'oisiveté cède le pas à la manipulation mentale, quand Alan laisse dériver ses fantasmes jusqu'à l'aveuglement, et que la jalousie devient le filtre de son amour. Épuisée et amère, Josée fuit la Floride pour retrouver Paris et son ancienne liberté. Elle est en proie à des sentiments contraires, où l'attachement et la lassitude tiennent la première place. Ce roman de Françoise Sagan oscille entre le ton désinvolte qui a fait son succès, et l'épaisseur de personnages hésitants, la lecture de ce texte rend perceptible toutes les micro-modulations de ces sentiments amoureux.
