From the best-selling author of The Elegance of the Hedgehog comes a story about a woman's journey to discover the father she never knew and a love she never thought possible.
Rose is called to Kyoto for the reading of her estranged father’s will. Once there, she encounters acquaintances of her father—including a potter and poet, an old lady friend, his housekeeper and chauffeur, and Paul, her guide through Kyoto.
As the reading of the will gets closer, through her encounters and peregrinations in Kyoto, Rose reaches a poignant understanding of her father’s love and an acceptance of loss.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Rosa fa la botanica, ha quarant'anni, vive a Parigi ed è tristissima. O, per meglio dire, è depressa. Conosce i fiori, ma non li guarda; le piacciono gli uomini, ma solo per una sera; niente la appassiona, niente riesce a smuoverla dalla cappa plumbea in cui trascorrono le sue giornate, la vita le sembra un faticoso percorso senza senso. Così è quasi per forza d'inerzia che parte per Ky¿to per assistere all'apertura del testamento del padre. Di lui non sa niente, sa solo che è giapponese e che quarant'anni prima ha avuto un'effimera relazione con la madre. Non l'ha conosciuto da vivo, va a conoscerlo da morto. Ma il Giappone è un altro pianeta e, anche se in un primo tempo le ciotoline da tè e i vialetti di sabbia rastrellata le fanno soltanto rabbia, piano piano si fa strada in lei una consapevolezza del profondo che la porterà a rivalutare se stessa e a vedere con un altro occhio quelle che fino a quel momento le erano apparse solo un'interminabile serie di disgrazie. Accompagnata nel suo viaggio di rinascita da Paul, belga trapiantato in Giappone, fedelissimo segretario del padre, Rosa conoscerà un nuovo concetto di bellezza che la porterà a elaborare un nuovo concetto di amore e quindi di vita.
