At age twelve Mellie goes to the dying town of O穰, where she enters premature adulthood and assembles a photographic and written record of her life. Enchanting, realistic, comic, tragic--all these words describe this spellbinding novel that, like all genuine fables, takes us to a world that is utterly strange and very much our own. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eRose Mellie Rose\u003c\/i\u003e is one of three novels that are the first works to appear in English by Marie Redonnet, one of France's most original new authors (the other novels are \u003ci\u003eHel Splendid\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eForever Valley\u003c\/i\u003e, both also available from the University of Nebraska Press).
