Reviews"A woman wrestling with writer's block turns to a Parisian residency to get her creative juices flowing, with grim consequences, in Tatiana de Rosnay's Flowers of Darkness . Alone in her swanky, if temporary, apartment, Clarissa can't escape the feeling that she's under surveillance. She pulls her granddaughter in to help her, but soon comes face to face with the secrets of her own past, in this tense thriller." -- Bustle "A literary mystery with a dash of science fiction, this will reach out into many genres and bring in readers with its captivating hook." -- The Parksburg News and Sentinel "All the alluring ingredients of de Rosnay's work come together in her new novel." -- Elle (France) "A fine novel, a thriller that sensitively explores paranoia, grief, and personal redemption. The writing is lush and visually evocative... she has such a compelling voice." -- Booklist "I love how Tatiana de Rosnay's novels are always both page-turners and explorations of important issues...The questions the story raises about creativity, loss, and the rich messiness of being fully human are crucial and compelling. The near-future in which Flowers of Darkness takes place is such a logical extension of our own environmentally-challenged and AI-enhanced present that as I read I kept wanting to check to make sure the Eiffel tower was still standing." -- Jean Hegland, author of Windfalls and Into the Forest "Lively, engaging and captivating." -- Madame Figaro "By exploring the effects of modern technology and the upheavals of contemporary life, de Rosnay continues to thrill us with this hypnotizing intrigue." -- Tele 7 Jours

SynopsisFrom the internationally bestselling author of Sarah's Key comes Tatiana de Rosnay's Flowers of Darkness , 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.
