Flowers of Darkness
Book Feature - Flowers of Darkness by Tatiana de Rosnay
HBL Note: Most books I read that are set in Paris take place in the past (probably because most of the books I read are historical fiction.) But New York Times bestselling author, Tatiana de Rosnay’s latest novel, FLOWERS OF DARKNESS, is set in the near future. And yet, it still has some of my favorite elements: set in Paris, a main character with a creative profession (Clarissa is an author who is participating in an artist’s residency…I mean, a dream!), and page-turning suspense.

Book Feature - Flowers of Darkness by Tatiana de Rosnay
From the publisher:
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.
