Flowers of Darkness by Tatiana de Rosnay

3.0

---

Tatiana de Rosnay's novel are usually historical fiction however Flowers of Darkness is a cli-fi novel set in the near future. The story revolves around writer Clarissa who leaves her husband and gets a place in a new artist housing building but it comes with some requirements. Over the course of several weeks Clarissa becomes suspicious of the group running the housing but with all of the turmoil in her life recently will anyone believe her or just think she is losing it.

While I was not expecting a future cli-fi novel from de Rosnay I will say that I enjoyed it greatly. It is a blend of cli-fi, thriller, mystery, Paris-based fiction. It has something for everyone and is familiar enough while having some scary events that shape the world Clarissa lives in.
