Title : Rose - Tatiana de Rosnay - Book

Summary :

Paris under the Second Empire. Haussmann's ambitious construction projects destroy entire neighborhoods, generating thousands of painful expropriations. Far from the turmoil, Rose Bazelet leads a peaceful life, reading Le Petit Journal and strolling in the Luxembourg Gardens. Until the day she receives the fateful letter from the prefect: her house, located on the Boulevard Saint-Germain, is to be demolished. Bound by a promise made to her husband, she cannot bring herself to leave. Against the baron, against the emperor, Rose will fight to save the family home, which contains a jealously guarded secret...

A portrait of a pure soul, a documented account of a relentless transformation, this book combines the sobriety of writing with the impulses of classical romanticism. Pierre Vavasseur, Le Parisien.

The tender, delicately charming letters that Rose sent to her late husband recreate old Paris and tug at our heartstrings. Marie Claire.
