Rose Royal

a love story
Nicolas Mathieu ; translated from the French by Sam Taylor
Book - 2022

"From the Prix Goncourt-winning author of And Their Children After Them, a devilishly smart noir novella that finds uncomfortable truths in the everyday about romance, violence, and women's desire and desirability. Nearing fifty, with a divorce and a string of other failed relationships behind her, Rose has given up on the idea of love, if not sex-though that always comes with risks. Determined not to let another man hurt her, she even ordered a .38 caliber handgun after an argument with her latest boyfriend almost turned violent. Now she carries it everywhere, just in case. As if on autopilot, Rose spends her days at work and then at the Royal, a familiar haunt where she knocks back one drink after another, sometimes with her best friend Marie-Jeanne. And then a sudden accident brings Luc into the bar, and Rose decides to give love one last chance"--
