LONGLISTED FOR THE PRIX GONCOURT 2022 'Beguiling' Daily Mail From the bestselling author of The Elegance of the Hedgehog comes the story of one mans promise to keep a secret that may hold him from the greatest joy possible. Haru, a successful Japanese art dealer, appreciates beauty, harmony, balance, and good sake. A few months after an affair with Maud, a mysterious Frenchwoman, he learns that she is pregnant with his child. But she issues him a heartbreaking warning: if he ever tries to see her or the child, she will kill herself. Quietly devastated, Haru respects Maud's wishes. And Rose grows up on the other side of the world, without ever knowing her father. Is it too late to change things? From international bestseller Muriel Barbery comes a stunning tale of friendship, family secrets, and the enduring love of a father forced to live in the shadows.
