In the 1860s, Baron Haussmann's move to modernize Paris lead to the destruction of many narrow streets and the buildings on them to make room for the city's current broad boulevards. Written through the eyes of a woman who lives through the destruction of her home and the life she knew and treasured, Rose Bazelet's story unfolds. I liked de Rosnay's previous novels better than this one, but it was a moving story nonetheless.
