The Rain Watcher
by
by
3.5*
A gathering in Paris. A reunion of the Malegarde family. A time not only to celebrate but hopefully repair a fractured family. Paul and Lauren have two landmark events to celebrate. Pauls’70th birthday as well as their 40th wedding anniversary. Children Linden and sister Tilia arrive in Paris for the festivities, having left their own loved ones at home.
This intimate party is strictly for the immediate family. Just the four of them.
This is a book of closely-held family secrets and desperation. Families growing apart and now looking for a way to heal long-held wounds.
Even during the worst rain and flooding the city has seen in years, everyone does their level best to stay under the magic spell of Paris. And of course, to make the most of their family time together. When tragedy strikes, the family must find a way to come together or risk never repairing the scars that have afflicted this family for years.
The descriptions of Paris and the threats of flooding are told in such vivid detail. A masterful literary painting that will have you viewing the landscapes with amazing clarity. A truly atmospheric book that will leave you heavy-hearted and wanting to reach out to your own family and loved ones.
An emotional buddy read with Susanne!

I love your review, Kaceey! I already wrote about my Tatiana de Rosnay reading experience (none) on Susanne's review of this book, but suffice to say, I really want to start read her work! 😊

No I don't live where any hurricanes are I live in a small place called England, but I actually live in Wales and we had for 3 days a rain fall which hasn't been seen for 30 years the flooding is terrible and a little scary, but compared to the hurricane hit countries I'm sorry to be moaning about a little water😩

Don’t be sorry the rain storms can be very scary and quickly turn into flooding...as seen in this book! I hope the skies will clear up for you soon my friend!🤗
