The Chinese Woman from the Painting

Florence Tholozan lives near Montpellier. A graduate in clinical psychology, she teaches in H©rault. As far back as she can remember, she has always had a love for words. The Chinese Woman from the Painting is her first novel.

I have always believed that the very moment you meet someone, you already have a vague idea of ââwhat will happen in the relationship. And the emotion from that initial look is equal to the importance that this person will have in your life.

What if, like M©lisende and Guillaume, you discovered a strange painting?

A painting that would change your outlook on life?

In the background, behind a young Chinese woman, there would stand a couple who would resemble you and yours in every way. With one exception: the characters painted on the canvas would be much older.

"Winner of the Saint Cl©ment Prix de Paroles d'auteur(e)s de Saint Cl©ment 2020, and finalist for the 2019 Prix du Livre Romantique from the Charleston and City of Cabourg Publishing, the book tells a fascinating story of mysteries and emotions."

âCLAAP.fr

"A novel evoking life's encounters, eternal love, and plunging us into a fascinating adventure."

âRencontre des Auteurs Francophones

"Florence Tholozan, school teacher in Castelnau, is the author of a debut novel that brings the reader to China. A welcome literary voyage during these times when borders are closed."

âMagazine de la-Ville de Castelnau le Lez

"The first words that come to mind to describe the encounter with this story are 'sweet' and 'delicate'. The same sweetness and delicacy that characterizes Chinese culture, which this novel reveals better than an organized trip."

âPrix des Auteurs Inconnus

"A romance filled with tenderness, written with a fluid and easy-to-read pen."
