"Muriel Barbery sows beauty on every page."-ELLE "A small miracle."-Lire Praise for The Elegance of the Hedgehog: "Resistance is futile... you might as well buy it before someone recommends it for your book group. Its charm will make you say yes."-The Guardian "Breathtakingly singular... totally French yet completely universal."-Good Housekeeping The temples and teahouses of Kyoto are the scene of a Frenchwoman's emotional awakening in the stunning new novel by international bestseller Muriel Barbery. Rose has turned 40, but has barely begun to live. When the Japanese father she never knew dies, she leaves France for Kyoto to hear the reading of his will. In the days before Haru's last wishes are revealed, his former assistant, Paul, takes Rose on a tour of the temples, gardens and eating places of this unfamiliar city. Initially a reluctant tourist and awkward guest in her late father's home, Rose gradually comes to discover Haru's legacy through the itinerary he set for her, finding gifts greater than she had ever imagined. This stunning novel from the author of the international bestseller The Elegance of the Hedgehog is a mesmerising story of second chances, of beauty born out of grief and roses grown from ashes.
