What to read this week? Here are the suggestions from our journalists.

“Icelandians are surely among the best placed in the world to see the effects of climate change on the environment. In her new novel, writer Auður Ava Ólafsdóttir continues to teach us more about this small island nation where nothing is like anywhere else, while expressing, through her character, her own concerns about the future of the planet as well than on the survival of her language, which she fears will disappear,” writes our journalist Laila Maalouf.

“As this nightmarish evening unfolds, we see a play playing out before our eyes. Like a fiasco in three acts where the costumes and masks will end up falling one by one,” writes our journalist Laila Maalouf.

“This 26th novel crowns 25 years of career for Jean-François Beauchemin who, with a pen that is as skillful as ever and even when faced with the darkest subjects, manages to breathe luminosity, light as the wind that blows lazily on the pages of this family history”, writes our journalist Sylvain Sarrazin.

“Arriving at the middle of her life, the author and columnist Marilyse Hamelin plunges back into the memories of her eventful childhood, her rebellious adolescence and the history of her family to meet the different women within her,” writes our journalist Valérie Simard.

Among all the books that have recently arrived in bookstores, here are a few that caught our attention.
