Book Synopsis A Single Rose by : Muriel Barbery

Book excerpt: “A magnificent romance redolent of ancient wisdom and rich with melancholy, loss, and love” from the bestselling author of The Elegance of the Hedgehog (Le Monde). Rose has just turned forty when she gets a call from a lawyer asking her to come to Kyoto for the reading of her estranged father’s will. And so for the first time in her life she finds herself in Japan, where Paul, her father’s assistant, is waiting to greet her. As Paul guides Rose along a mysterious itinerary designed by her deceased father, her bitterness and anger are soothed by the stones and the trees in the Zen gardens they move through. During their walks, Rose encounters acquaintances of her father—including a potter and poet, an old lady friend, his housekeeper and chauffeur—whose interactions help her to slowly begin to accept a part of herself that she has never before acknowledged. As the reading of the will gets closer, Rose’s father finally, posthumously, opens his heart to his daughter, offering her a poignant understanding of his love and a way to accept all she has lost. “Interspersed with aphoristic Japanese tales from various periods, as melancholy is gradually transmuted into joy.” —The New Yorker “[A] luminous meditation on grief.” —Booklist “With elegant and careful prose, [Barbery] offers descriptions of Kyoto and Japanese culture that transcend the genre of a travelogue. This novel will appeal to readers who long for happy endings and escape.” —Library Journal “The novel balances lush, cultivated gardens and weighted symbolism with mischievous foxes, matcha, sliced eel, and sushi, all forming ‘one happy chaos’ and a fascinating maze of emotional release.” —Foreword Reviews

Three years after he left his life behind in London, Jack finally feels settled. He's surrounded with everything that is important to him; a great relationship with his brother, Alex, a bar he is about to re-open, and most importantly, he has control of his life and his dreams. He knows he can't undo the wrongs of his past, but he sure as hell can determine his future. He has worked hard to move forward and nothing is going to undo that. Until he meets Rose. Rose Wilson has never felt normal. Since she was a child, Rose has felt nothing but the overwhelming desire to end her life and she has no idea why. We live to die, so what's the point in living? Rose has pushed the limits in the past, and pushed people away. She can't figure out why Jack and Alex are so insistent on helping her. Twelve years of therapy has failed to help her, so why should they be any different? Jack sees just how beautiful and important Rose is, but convincing her of that means putting his heart on the line, something he isn't sure he can do. He can't deny his feeling for Rose, but that doesn't mean he has to act on them. And Jack isn't the only one developing feelings for Rose. Before Rose, Jack vowed he would never let himself fall in love again. Before Rose, he had control. But sometimes, it's losing control that makes you really see what's really important in your life.
