Called an â€œelegant tale of rare depth and beauty, as brilliantly crafted as it is wondrously toldâ€ by the Providence Journal, The Witch of Painted Sorrows â€œmelds the normal and paranormal in the kind of seamless fashion reserved for such classic ghost stories as Henry Jamesâ€™s The Turn of the Screw.â€

New York socialite Sandrine Salome flees an abusive husband for her grandmotherâ€™s Paris mansion, despite warnings that the lavish family home is undergoing renovation and too dangerous to enter. There Sandrine meets Julien Duplessi, a mesmerizing architect who introduces her to the City of Lightsâ€”its art world, forbidden occult underground, nightclubsâ€”and to her own untapped desires.

Soon Sandrineâ€™s husband tracks her down and an insidious spirit takes hold: La Lune, a witch and a legendary sixteenth-century courtesan who exposes Sandrine to a deadly darkness.

â€œM.J. Rose has a talent for compelling writing, and this time she has outdone herself. Fear, desire, lust, and raw emotion ooze off the page,â€ says the Associated Press. In her instantly absorbing tour de force, Rose imagines Sandrineâ€™s â€œwild night of the soulâ€ dramatically underwritten by a tragic love story and a family curse that illuminates the fine line between explosive passion and complete ruination.
