Can’t-Wait Wednesday is a meme hosted by Tressa at Wishful Endings to spotlight upcoming releases we are excited about that we have yet to read.
The book I’m waiting on this week is…
Sarah’s Key by Tatiana de Rosnay made everyone love historical fiction, right? I know I was a fan! It has been twelve years since Sarah’s Key was published, and four years since de Rosnay’s last novel, and when I was asked if I would like to read an early copy of The Rain Watcher, I jumped at the chance! I hope to have it on my nightstand with my current reads very, very soon!
Synopsis from Goodreads:
The first new novel in four years from the beloved superstar author of Sarah’s Key, a heartbreaking and uplifting story of family secrets and devastating disaster, in the tradition of THE NEST.
The Rain Watcher is a powerful family drama set in Paris as the Malegarde family gathers to celebrate the father’s 70th birthday. Their hidden fears and secrets are slowly unraveled as the City of Light undergoes a stunning natural disaster. Seen through the eyes of charismatic photographer Linden Malegarde, the youngest son, 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 of her writer’s skills both as an incredible storyteller but also as a soul seeker.

I’m excited for you to read it! We have to discuss! But the one you are reading now is just as good, if not better, so don’t abandon it, Lana! 😂 ♥️ I’m just teasing you! Yes, we came to Washington first and traveled up to Alaska, and then back down to Vancouver, Canada before coming home. My grandparents, great aunt, and cousin, each had campers and drove all the way to AK! My mom went with them once years ago, so I do have the camper bug…It will probably be when we retire though! My husband has less than 10 years left, but I have longer. 💗

I have 3 different books going at the same time, there’s no way I will start “not her daughter” yet! 🤣 and I’m enjoying all of them! I need to pull an all-nighter!
Sounds like wonderful memories! I have such great family memories of camping with extended family when I was growing up. Just thinking of them makes me happy! 💗 it warms my heart to know you enjoy it too! 😍

Oh no! I can’t stand the thought of my beloved Paris having a natural disaster! You must read it quickly and tell me the city survives!! 😉
It does sound intriguing though. I’m ashamed to admit to never even having heard of Sarah’s Key…

Oh, FF, it’s so well-loved! I think it may have been the first book I downloaded on my very first Kindle 10 years ago! In fairness, though, I’ve seen the author mention that her writing has evolved since then, and SHE thinks her newer works are better, but I still think Sarah’s Key was pretty amazing. I’ll keep you posted! 😊

Oh wow, has it already been 12 years?? I remember quite liking Sarah’s Key back in highschool! And I really love the title “The Rain Watcher”–it’s mysterious but also kind of calming?– and that blurb is super intriguing! I’ll be eagerly waiting for your review. 😀
