From the New York Times bestselling author of Sarah's Key andA 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. Tatiana de Rosnay's 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...

Review:

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"

""

"The core of Paris by a phenomenal novelist."" - Elle (France)"

""

"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"
