From New York Times bestselling author Tatiana de Rosnay, Flowers
of Darkness is a riveting and emotionally intense novel, set in a near
future Paris, where a woman confronts past betrayal and present
mystery.
Author Clarissa Katsef is struggling to write her next book. She's just
snagged a brand new artist residency in an ultra-modern apartment, with
a view of all of Paris, a dream for any novelist in search of
tranquility. But since moving in, she has had the feeling of being
watched. Is there reason to be paranoid? Or is her distraction and
discomfort the result of her husband's recent shocking betrayal? Or is
that her beloved Paris lies altered outside her windows? A city that
will never be quite the same, a city with a scar at its center?
Stuck inside, in the midst of a sweltering heat wave, Clarissa enlists
her beloved granddaughter in her investigation of the mysterious, high
tech building even as she finds herself drawn back into the orbit of her
first husband who is still the one who knows her most intimately, who
shares the past grief that she has never quite let go.
Staying true to her favorite themes--the imprint of the place, the
weight of secrets--de Rosnay weaves an intrigue of thrilling suspense
and emotional power.
