  The Vanished Collection

  Pauline Baer De Perignon

  It all started with a list of paintings. There, scribbled by a cousin she hadn't seen for years, were the names of the masters whose works once belonged to her great-grandfather, Jules Strauss: Renoir, Monet, Degas, Tiepolo, and more. Pauline Baer de Perignon knew little to nothing about Strauss, or about his vanished precious art collection. But the list drove her on a frenzied trail of research in the archives of the Louvre and the Dresden museums, through Gestapo records, and to consult with Nobel laureate Patrick Modiano. What happened in 1942? And what became of the collection after Nazis seized her great-grandparents’ elegant Parisian apartment? The quest takes Pauline Baer de Perignon from the Occupation of France to the present day as she breaks the silence around the wrenching experiences her family never fully transmitted and asks what art itself is capable of conveying over time.

  Growing up in Waterford, Tom McGrath never noticed the odd gaps in the stories of his parents' lives before he was born; it was only many years after they died that he uncovered the unspoken truths, which did so much to explain the people they had been.
  Here he tells the incredible true story of his father's conscription into the British Army, his escape from a prisoner-of-war camp in Poland, his daring journey across Europe and subsequent recapture – and the devastating news that awaited him in England. Tom's research also led him to discover that his mother also carried a heartbreaking secret.
  In writing this book Tom not only recreated his father's nail-biting escape but also embarked on a journey of his own to reconnect with previously unknown family members in order to piece together an extraordinarily rare tale that encompasses memoir, family history, and the parallel stories, which were almost lost for ever, of his parents' lives of desperate hardship.

  Hillary Clinton is the mother figure to two women: her daughter Chelsea Clinton, and her longtime political staffer Huma Abedin. 
  In Abedin’s Both/And, she tells of her unexpected rise into American politics after growing up in Saudi Arabia. A longtime aide to the Clinton family, she is now a longtime family friend as well. She helped Hillary run for president in both the 2008 and 2016 elections. 
  Abedin has experienced many ups and downs during her political career as a woman from a Middle Eastern country. She has long been questioned about both those factors, and she has always felt that Hillary championed those qualities not as weaknesses, but as strengths. While America has failed her in the past, Abedin still believes in the virtues and strengths of the country that helped her launch her career in politics.
