À propos de cette écoute
From New York Times best-selling author Tatiana de Rosnay, Flowers of Darkness is 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.

Flowers of Darkness
Flowers of Darkness was fascinating to listen to as it experimented with stream-of-consciousness to explore the first signs of dementia. Can we lose a sense of self when we move houses?
My favourite part was the chapter where the main character and her father visited Virginia Wolf's home.
I liked this near-obsession with place and how it can shape our thoughts and control our moods. Can the places we live in or visit have any power over our minds? After lockdown and having to stay home, it resonated with me.
I found all the latest state-of-the-art gadgets in a near future quite entertaining. We're really not that far away from that at all. But maybe there's a limit to what is ethically acceptable. Technology can help but it can also hurt.
