Summary:

The first new novel in four years from the beloved superstar author of Sarah’s Key, a heartbreaking and uplifting story of family secrets and devastating disaster, in the tradition of THE NEST. 

The Rain Watcher
is a powerful family drama set in Paris as the Malegarde family gathers
to celebrate the father’s 70th birthday. Their hidden fears and secrets
are slowly unraveled as the City of Light undergoes a stunning natural
disaster. Seen through the eyes of charismatic photographer Linden
Malegarde, the youngest son, all members of the family will have to
fight to keep their unity against tragic circumstances.

In this
profound and intense novel of love and redemption, De Rosnay
demonstrates all of her writer’s skills both as an incredible
storyteller but also as a soul seeker.

Praise for THE RAIN WATCHER: 

“I was mesmerized by Tatiana de Rosnay’s new novel across the ocean and
back―don’t bring this book on a plane with you if you want to sleep! The Rain Watcher
has something for everyone: an all-too-fathomable disaster story of the
Seine swamping Paris; a family story about confronting lifelong
secrets; a cautionary tale and love letter to our natural world, all
told with de Rosnay’s superlative sophistication and elegance. Hypnotic,
passionate, ominous and tender―The Rain Watcher is unforgettable.” ―Jenna Blum, New York Times and internationally bestselling author of Those Who Save Us and The Lost Family 

“The Rain Watcher
is a poignant and moving story of a family in crisis. As flood waters
rise in Paris, the men and women of the Malegarde clan struggle not to
drown under the weight of their own secrets. Through her tender
rendering of her characters, Tatiana de Rosnay demonstrates that―in
spite of our burdens and our brokenness―redemption and healing are
within our grasp.” ―Erika Robuck, national bestselling author of Hemingway’s Girl

 “A
ceaseless rain, a brother, a sister, a birthday, a tree―seemingly
ordinary things. But Tatiana de Rosnay’s expert storytelling proves that
within life’s ordinary is the power for extraordinary change. A bonfire
begins with a spark. A flood with a single drop. In similar fashion, The Rain Watcher will leave you spellbound, transformed, and swept away.” ―Sarah McCoy, New York Times and international bestselling author of The Mapmaker’s Children 

“Triumphant…de
Rosnay stokes the Malegardes’ histories with raw and powerful
reminisces and gorgeous descriptions. This is an emotional tour de force
and a thoughtful, deliberate examination of personal tragedy and the
possibility of redemption.” ―Publishers Weekly

 

“The evocation of Paris is worthy of Modiano, and de Rosnay’s projection of the city’s worst deluge since 1910 is not only horrifying, but timely after the actual Seine floods of January 2018.”―Kirkus Reviews
