Library Tidings by Kevin Mittge Book Review “The Rain Watcher” by Tatiana de Rosnay Linden Malegarde has come home to Paris from the U.S. It has been years since the whole family was all together. Now the Malegarde family is gath- ering for the 70th birthday of Linden’s father, Paul. The members of the Malegarde family are on edge, holding their breath, afraid one wrong move will shatter their delicate harmony. Paul, the quiet patriarch, an internationally renowned ar- borist obsessed with his trees and little else, has always had an uneasy relationship with his son. Lauren, his American wife, is determined that the weekend celebration will be a success. Tilia, Linden’s blunt older sister, projects an air of false fulfillment. And Linden himself, the youngest, un- comfortable in his own skin, never quite at home no matter where he lives — an American in France and a Frenchman in the United States — still fears that, despite his hard-won success as a celebrated pho- tographer, he will always be a disappointment to his parents. Their hidden fears and se- crets slowly unravel as the City of Light undergoes a stunning natural disaster and the Seine bursts its banks and floods the city. All members of the family will have to fight to keep their unity against tragic circumstances. In this profound and intense novel of love and redemption, de Rosnay demonstrates all her writer’s skills not only as an incredible storyteller but also as a soul seeker.
