Set against the backdrop of the early 20th century, the novel follows young Dorothy as she confronts the idyllic yet constraining world of Skyrie'Äîa charming yet confining locale that embodies both opportunity and limitation. Raymond'Äôs literary style is characterized by her lyrical prose and keen psychological insight, which effectively captures the inner turmoil of her protagonist as she navigates complex interpersonal relationships and societal expectations. The narrative is deeply entrenched in the context of burgeoning independence for women, reflecting the broader cultural shifts of the time.

Raised in a dynamic environment infused with a strong sense of social justice, she draws upon her experiences to vividly portray the struggles and aspirations of her characters, illuminating the often-limited choices available to them. Her keen understanding of the human psyche and her commitment to championing women's stories serve as a cornerstone in crafting "Dorothy at Skyrie."

Raymond'Äôs nuanced characterizations and engaging plot make it a significant addition to the canon of early 20th-century literature, inviting readers to reflect on the timeless quest for identity and self-agency.

It's My Whole Life - Charlotte...

Susan Wider

“It’s my whole life” are the words Charlotte Salomon is said to have used to describe a series of thirteen hundred paintings she created between 1940 and 1942 while in hiding from the Nazis. The paintings are an extraordinary, vivid
document: saturated in the sunlit colors of the Mediterranean; full of powerfully expressed love, anxiety, joy, and despair; and arranged as a sequential narrative overlayed with painted words, like a graphic novel. The story they tell is one of a
prosperous childhood in prewar Berlin, of fleeing from the Nazi regime after Kristallnacht, and of going into hiding in southern France. There, as the war closed in, Charlotte Salomon painted feverishly, documenting her life and the often
troubled lives of her family, her escape to and existence in France, and her struggle to come to terms with the darkness falling around her. When Germany took control of the region, she packed up the paintings and gave them to a friend
for safekeeping. Shortly afterward, she was captured and deported to Auschwitz, where she was murdered.

Charlotte Salomon’s painted memoir has been compared to Anne Frank’s universally famous work as a visual analog to Anne’s diary. It tells a compelling story—not only of the war and the Holocaust, but of a passionate, creative young
woman hungering for a place in the world and the ability to express herself. In It’s My Whole Life, Susan Wider charts Charlotte’s life and illuminates her work in a distinctive biography for young readers.
