In her new novel hitting shelves Tuesday, Tatiana de Rosnay â author of international bestseller âSarahâs Keyâ â delivers a chilling âBlack Mirrorâ-esque page-turner set in a near-future Paris.
Turns out the seeds for her suspenseful âFlowers of Darknessâ just might be rooted in her Brookline schooldays.
As a kid attending John D. Runkle Elementary School, âI had a wonderful teacher called Miss Sebold, who told my mother I had a vivid imagination,â de Rosnay said in an e-mail interview from her Paris home. âShe used to read us Edgar Allan Poe stories, and Iâm sure my love of dark, scary tales stems from there.â
