About this deal

Themes of love, loss, death, understanding, growth, anger, forgiveness, and redemption take place. Overall, its all about love. Under their talks….some humor and sarcasm….they are covertly opening up more serious life conversations > gently, subtly, and purely. Single red rose shows your long love and devotion. Red rose is kind of the stronger representation of deep love. Single white rose tells you the purity and the peace of love. It is also an innocent yet impeccable feeling. On the other hand, white rose also represents innocent childhood of a girl.

This lushly written novella length story profiles the reexamination of Rose’s distant and estranged relationship with her father, who has recently passed away. Rose travels to Japan, planning to stay only long enough to discover the contents of her father’s will. Plant-life does not get short shrift, either, however -- though it generally also comes with a distinctive Japanese spin, right down to Haru's observation that: "the world is like a cherry tree one has not looked at for three days".) Well, you already know that arranging a rose delivery is one of the best ways to bring the surprise that will make your sweetheart love you more. Next-Day Flower Delivery But then the actual legal ritual isn't what matters, it's everything else -- so also the letter of explanation dad left for her, spelling everything out.

Hace ya unos cuantos años, conocía a esta autora a través de La elegancia del erizo y me encantó. Tiene una forma de escribir delicada y poética. Cuando vi que tenía este nuevo título la verdad es que dudé porque tenía muy buenas reseñas y muy malas reseñas, pero aprovechando que salió como lectura en un grupo, me apunté para volver a reencontrarme con esa prosa tan bien escrita. She doesn't readily open herself up to this new experience -- though, given how radically different from her world it is, right down to the food, it is of course difficult to remain as closed-off as she'd seem to like to be. If readers have read “The Elegance of the Hedgehog”…and loved its bittersweet story — there is a great chance, (although a completely different tale), the same mutual feelings will be felt again with kindred souls blossoming along side Cherry trees. During their adventures in restaurants, temples, galleries, rivers, eating yummy foods, drinks, … while taking in the environmental beauty, …. Both Rose and Paul are grappling with the loss of beloveds: for Paul, his late wife, and for Rose, both parents and the grandmother who raised her. Touring together, they contemplate the meaning of suffering. “You feel as if you no longer speak the same language as other people,” Paul says. “And you realize it’s just the language of love.” These conversations make for bright sparks of pain and yearning as the two move from strangers—a valued employee, an estranged daughter—to intimates. Paul calls Rose a “pain-in-the-ass.” She agrees.

There is something doggedly hopeful in Rose’s ambivalence, something committed to growing while also honoring perpetual sadness. We learn, “At the age of forty, Rose has not really lived.” Growing up in the French countryside, she “received the intelligence of the world.” Also, “She read novels, and in this way, through pathways and stories, her soul was crafted . . . until one day, as if losing a handkerchief, she lost her predisposition for happiness.” She has to face and come to terms with her own, so long unlived -- in any meaningful way -- life, and is given the opportunity to reach out and seize this second chance. The setup is certainly tailor-made for it, complete with Haru's Belgian assistant Paul -- conveniently tragically widowered -- tasked to show her around Kyōto, and much of the novel following them as he introduces her to the world Haru wanted her to see, before finally, at the end of the week, going to the lawyer 's office to deal with the paperwork. Japanese reserve and ritual is here also nicely coupled with some disarming (often alcohol-induced) frankness in how she is dealt with by those who knew Haru.Many readers, I imagine, will be familiar with The Elegance of the Hedgehog. A Single Rose is the latest work brought to an English audience by Gallic Books. En definitiva nos relata fragmentos pasados y presentes de Rose y Paul, a la vez que nos pasea por Tokio, nos detalla secretos duros del pasado, mezclando sensaciones del presente, tristezas, alegrías se aunaran para formar una fábula de lectura. Rose will meet several friends and acquaintances of her father: a potter, a poet, a lady friend, his housekeeper, and chauffeur. As obvious as all of this might seem, and indeed even as obviously as Barbery leads down this seemingly inevitable course, A Single Rose manages to avoid the overly saccharine for a good while. la mécanique d’un rituel, empreint d’une sobre sensualité, le récit initiatique de cette femme déracinée transcende la romance conventionnelle au profit d’une célébration de la vie et de la force de la nature." - Manon Dumais, Le Devoir

It's effective and engaging, Rose's voyage of discovery an appealing tour that is a bit heavy on an idealized Japan but tosses in enough of those discordant edges.Lo más duro, en realidad, no es ser feliz sin el otro, sino cambiar, dejar de ser quien se era con el otro.

As the thorn gets removed from the Rose through Papa's imposed tele-guided visit of the extraordinary temples of Kyoto, Rose blooms, gets rich and is off to Japanese Disneyland (figuartively). From the best-selling author of The Elegance of the Hedgehog comes a story about a woman's journey to discover the father she never knew and a love she never thought possible. A Single Rose” is about a woman, named Rose, who goes to Kyoto, Japan, [her first trip ever], after her estranged father, Haru Unen, died - to receive the reading of the will he left for her. Rose has just turned forty when she gets a call from a lawyer asking her to come to Kyoto for the reading of her estranged father's will. And so for the first time in her life she finds herself in Japan, where Paul, her father's assistant, is waiting to greet her.

Best of all for me was Rose’s character herself. She said she came from a monomaniacal family; her mother was all sadnesses. She was all anger. Given the bones of this story, the prospective reader could be forgiven for thinking that, in the hands of the author who crafted The Elegance of The Hedgehog and The Gourmet, this would be a sweet and charming read. The reality is a little different.
