Born to a French aristocratic family, Antoine de Saint-Exupéry was an aviator, adventurer, author, poet and national hero all in one. During World War II, he joined the air force at the “old” age of 44, but suddenly disappeared in a reconnaissance mission over the Mediterranean Sea. His wife Consuelo, a Latin American, was famous for her beauty. Their marriage has been likened to a relationship in the eye of a storm, at once passionate and tumultuous. Consuelo was Saint-Exupéry’s muse, a woman he could not live with but could not do without. Rose Love Letters tells the moving story of Saint-Exupéry and Consuelo’s marriage, his life as an adventurer, the insights of a poet and the sentiments of a patriot.
