Concerto a La Memoire D'un Ange, Paperback Book, By: Eric-Emmanuel Schmitt

What is the relationship between a woman who poisons her successive husbands and a President of the Republic in love? What is the link between a simple honest sailor and an international crook selling jewelry made in China? By what miracle does an image of Saint Rita, patron saint of desperate causes, become the mysterious guide of their lives? All these heroes had the opportunity to redeem themselves, to prefer light to shade. To each one, one day, redemption was offered. Some have received it, others have refused it, a few have noticed nothing. Four interrelated stories. Four stories that cross the ordinary and the extraordinary of all life. Four stories that explore this question: are we free or do we suffer a fate? Can we change? Followed by the diary kept by Eric-Emmanuel Schmitt during writing,
