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 and she finds
herself an orphan, 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 international bestseller Muriel Barbery is a
mesmerizing story of second chances, of beauty born out of grief
and roses grown from ashes.
