L' inganno. La ragazza che truffò il Terzo Reich
Il romanzo ispirato a due storie vere olandesi: quella del falsario d'arte che ingannò i nazisti e dell'uomo che salvò seicento bambini ebrei dai campi di concentramento. Isa de Smit è cresciuta tra quadri e tavolozze nella galleria d'arte dei suoi genitori fino a quando l'occupazione nazista ha spazzato via ogni colore. Ora Amsterdam non è più la stessa: la Galleria de Smit viene costretta a chiudere i battenti e Truus, la migliore amica di Isa, decide di darsi alla macchia e unirsi alla resistenza olandese. Isa, in accordo con suo padre, decide di vendere ai nazisti una copia falsa di un Rembrandt per rientrare dei debiti della galleria e, sulla strada per l'asta, scopre che Truus si sta occupando di far fuggire i bambini ebrei dalla città per portarli al sicuro. Ma per aiutare le famiglie ebree ci vuole molto denaro e Isa trova una soluzione tanto audace quanto pericolosa: vendere ai nazisti opere d'arte contraffatte. Inizia così un'avventura serrata che tra arte e intrighi traccia pennellate di colore nel capitolo più grigio della storia d'Europa.

Una luce oltre il buio. La storia della ragazza che sfidò il nazismo
Polonia, 1942. Stefania è una sedicenne come tante. Lavora nel negozio di alimentari della famiglia Diamant e il suo sogno è semplicemente quello di un bacio, magari perfino trovare il vero amore. Ma nel 1942 non esiste la normalità, non si fanno progetti per il futuro: la Germania ha invaso la Polonia, la guerra divide la città, gli amici, le famiglie. Eppure, anche se è impossibile pensare al domani, nella panetteria dei Diamant Stefania conosce Izio. Un ragazzo gentile con cui trova subito l'intesa. Stefania e Izio sembrano perfetti l'uno per l'altra, ma quando i tedeschi irrompono nell'appartamento dei Diamant, Izio viene catturato e caricato su un camion diretto fuori dalla città. È ebreo. E Stefania sa che non lo rivedrà mai più. Ma proprio quando il mondo di Stefania crolla all'improvviso e la sua casa, prima piena di vita, si svuota di ogni emozione, qualcuno bussa alla sua porta. È notte, Stefania non aspetta nessuno. Potrebbero essere i nazisti, potrebbe essere la fine. Oppure, potrebbe essere l'occasione per cambiare la storia.

The Likeness of Things Unlike
A Poetics of Incommensurability“For nearly half a century, Cameron has been the gold standard of literary critical brilliance in the field of American literature. In The Likeness of Things Unlike, she continues her inquiry into the intricate ways in which literary language dwells in a region populated by the incommensurable, the unaccommodated, what cannot ‘be identified as this or that’ because they ‘emerge in excess of either,’ challenging paradigms and categories. There could be no better guide than the incomparable Cameron to chart this excitingly volatile linguistic territory. The Likeness of Things Unlike is a dazzling work of exhilarating intellectual vigor.”

Artifice
Isa de Smit was raised in the vibrant, glittering world of her parents' small art gallery in Amsterdam, a hub of beauty, creativity, and expression until the Nazi occupation wiped the colour from her city's palette. The "degenerate" art of the Gallery de Smit is confiscated, and the artists are in hiding or deported, her best friend, Truus, fled to join the shadowy Dutch resistance. And masterpiece by masterpiece, the Nazis are buying and stealing her country's heritage, feeding the Third Reich's ravenous appetite for culture and art. So when the unpaid taxes threaten her beloved but empty gallery, Isa decides to make the Nazis pay. She sells them a fake--a Rembrandt copy drawn by her talented father--a sale that sets Isa perilously close to the second most hated class of people in Amsterdam: the collaborators. Isa sells her beautiful forgery to none other than Hitler himself, and on the way to the auction, discovers that Truus is part of a resistance ring to smuggle Jewish babies out of Amsterdam. But Truus cannot save more children without money. A lot of money. And Isa thinks she knows how to get it. One more forgery, a copy of an exquisite Vermeer, and the Nazis will pay for the rescue of the very children they are trying to annihilate. To make the sale, though, Isa will need to learn the art of a master forger, before the children can be deported, and before she can be outed as a collaborator. And she finds an unlikely source to help her do it: the young Nazi soldier, a blackmailer and thief of Dutch art, who now says he wants to desert the German army. Yet, worth is not always seen from the surface, and a fake can be difficult to spot. Both in art and in people. Based on the true stories of Han Van Meegeren, a master art forger who sold fakes to Hermann Goering, and Johann van Hulst, credited with saving 600 Jewish children from death in Amsterdam, Sharon Cameron weaves a gorgeously evocative thriller, simmering with twists, that looks for the forgotten colour of beauty, even in an ugly world. "War, resistance, and art are Cameron's canvas; her palette is a balance of trust and perfidy, beauty and defiance, new life and old. Artifice is a vibrantly-hued and many-layered story, exploring our very human inability to spot a fake when we long to believe that the object of all our desire is the real thing." -- Elizabeth Wein, New York Times best-selling author of Code Name Verity. "Painterly prose ... filled with rich intrigue depicts constantly shifting issues of trust in this complex, absorbing tale." -- Publishers Weekly, starred review.

Bluebird
In 1946, Eva leaves behind the rubble of Berlin for the streets of New York City, stepping from the fiery aftermath of one war into another, far colder one, where power is more important than principles, and lies are more plentiful than the truth. Eva holds the key to a deadly secret: Project Bluebird — a horrific experiment of the concentration camps, capable of tipping the balance of world power. Both the Americans and the Soviets want Bluebird, and it is something that neither should ever be allowed to possess. But Eva hasn't come to America for secrets or power. She hasn't even come for a new life. She has come to America for one thing: justice. And the Nazi that has escaped its net. Critically acclaimed author of The Light in Hidden Places Sharon Cameron weaves a taut and affecting thriller ripe with intrigue and romance in this alternately chilling and poignant portrait of the personal betrayals, terrifying injustices, and deadly secrets that seethe beneath the surface in the aftermath of World War II.
