Her milestone year has also brought a literary milestone: this year she published her first solo book, "La Fêlure", containing personal reflections and letters written to her father, who died in a boating accident on October 3, 1990, when Charlotte was just four years old. She previously co-authored the book "Archipelago of Passions" with philosopher Robert Maggiori.
