Her favorite quote:

“The peony, this magnificent flower with inexhaustible languages, allows me to tell you all the remorse that haunts me;

The double peony represents a dazzling love in the image of ours.

The red peony expresses the protection of our relationship and the white invites you to get well my angel.

"


Why this book?

  • Because the title doesn't lie: 

    this is truly the odyssey of a battered heart.

  • Because this love story is out of the ordinary

    .

    It is a story of the heart with many twists and turns, mixed with many adventures, the story of a broken heart, won back, but fragile.

  • Because the writing is simple, suitable for all readers,

    interspersed with letters, and sometimes even SMS that make it modern and yet so detailed and engaging.

  • Because Roxane, the main character, is endearing

    by being overwhelmed by her feelings.
