Sitting at my friends’ beautiful garden, sipping a cup of coffee, leafing through an architectural magazine I found at the kitchen, enjoying the cool breeze after the rain. Hearing my boy’s voice echoing in the distance, somewhere inside the big house, talking in his funny English with his mates, giving them a lecture of some sorts. Two days before embarking on a new adventure – a road trip to New York – the city of my dreams.

Sebastian Haffner: Defying Hitler: A Memoir
A VERY important book. Autobiographical notes written by an Aryan German describing the rise of Nazism from a (seemingly) insider’s point of view. An incredible insight into the nature of us, humans, that raises countless questions. Would we resist too?
Marjane Satrapi : Persepolis : The Story of a Childhood
A wonderful autobiographical graphic novel about growing up in Iran during the Islamic revolution. Reading it was a unique experience for me.
W. G. Sebald: Austerlitz
A masterpiece.
It all seems so romantic through your lens.

Well, y’know, that’s because I’m the heroine of a romantic novel: Weathering Heights meets Madame Bovari, or something in that vicinity.
