Tatiana de Ronay is an English-French writer, screenwriter, journalist and literary critic, whose works have been translated into many languages and published in millions of copies. But her most resounding success is associated with the novel "Sarah's Key" and the film of the same name with Kristin Scott-Thomas in the leading role, which has been shown around the world. "The Rain Watcher" is a novel of rare dramatic intensity, in which the psychological tension is enhanced by an apocalyptic flood. Paris is underwater, the water level in the Seine has risen to a record high, the coastal streets are flooded, hundreds of houses are left without electricity. It is at this time that the Malgards are going to celebrate the seventieth birthday of the head of the family, Paul, a world-famous arborist. All his life he has been caring for trees and protecting them. He even chose the names for his children in honor of the linden, his favorite tree. His wife Lauren has been planning this event for two years, so neither the flood nor the torrential rains that have hit the City of Light can prevent the celebration. However, it is not the extraordinary circumstances that threaten the family unity, but a truth known since time immemorial: there is nothing secret that will not become clear.
