Críticas

Praise for A Secret Kept:

"A seductive, suspenseful, and tres formidable keeper." --"Publisher's Weekly"

"De Rosnay's writing is eloquent and beautiful, and her characterizations are both honest and dead-on." -"Kirkus"

"In "A Secret Kept", Tatiana de Rosnay takes us on a journey to that haunted place where the past seeps into the present, where memory appears and disappears, and where healing seems always out of reach. With her lyrical prose and her gift for creating deeply sympathetic characters, de Rosnay has given us a hopeful story, as addictive as it is moving." --Diane Chamberlain, "New York Times" bestselling author of "Summer's Child"

""A Secret Kept" is a beautiful and haunting exploration of wanting - and not wanting - to understand one's past, of learning to see parents as individuals, whether the parents in question are our own or ourselves." -Erica Bauermeister, bestselling author of "The School of Essential Ingredients"

"A riveting tale of family, relationships, and the eerie power that memory holds over our present lives. The story gripped me from the moment that I opened the book, for it is told with incredible sensitivity and depth." -Katherine Howe, "New York Times "bestselling author of "The Physick Book of Deliverance Dane"

Praise for The House I Loved:

"In her quietly elegant 11th novel, the bestselling author of "Sarah's Key" again explores the idea of home as both sanctuary and embodiment of history... [Rose's] letters, poetic and honest, reveal a world soon to be destroyed by progress. A mesmerizing look at how the homes and neighborhoods we occupy hold not only our memories but our secrets as well." - People (3 out of 4 stars)

"De Rosnay's delicacy and the flavor of her beloved Paris are everywhere in this brief but memorable book. Replete with treats, particularly for Paris-lovers--indeed for anyone wedded to a special place." - "Kirkus" (starred review)

"Those who enjoyed "Sarah's Key" will recognize de Rosnay's love for her native France and appreciate the poignancy and tenacity of her characters." - "Booklist"

"Fraught with drama, as the "Sarah's Key" author aims to create an immersive experience in a hugely transformative period in Paris...when the city was torn between modernity and tradition. In Rose, one gets the clear sense of a woman losing her place in a changing world." - "Publishers Weekly"

""

"Whether you approve of Baron Haussmann's modernization of the French capital or not, Tatiana de Rosnay's new book, "The House I Loved, "is sure to enthrall those who want to learn more about this fascinating period in history." - "Out and About In Paris"
