Women's Fiction
From the New York Times bestselling author of Sarah's Key
and A Secret Kept comes an absorbing new novel about one
woman's resistance during an époque that shook Paris to its
very core. Paris, France: 1860's. Hundreds of houses are
being razed, whole neighborhoods reduced to ashes. By order
of Emperor Napoleon III, Baron Haussman has set into motion
a series of large-scale renovations that will permanently
alter the face of old Paris, moulding it into a “modern
city.” The reforms will erase generations of history—but in
the midst of the tumult, one woman will take a stand. Rose
Bazelet is determined to fight against the destruction of
her family home until the very end; as others flee, she
stakes her claim in the basement of the old house on rue
Childebert, ignoring the sounds of change that come closer
and closer each day. Attempting to overcome the loneliness
of her daily life, she begins to write letters to Armand,
her beloved late husband. And as she delves into the ritual
of remembering, Rose is forced to come to terms with a
secret that has been buried deep in her heart for thirty
years. The House I Loved is both a poignant story of one
woman's indelible strength, and an ode to Paris, where
houses harbor the joys and sorrows of their inhabitants, and
secrets endure in the very walls...
