The heirs decided to publish these memoirs only on the centennial anniversary of the birth of Antoine de Saint-Exupery. But their fear of bringing to the reader’s judgment the story of a difficult marriage between a Spanish artist and a famous pilot turned out to be in vain: Consuelo’s memoirs are filled with love and quivering tenderness. It was about her — a beautiful rose — that Saint-Exupery spoke through the lips of the Little Prince: «If you love a flower — the only one that is no longer on any of the many millions of stars, this is enough: you look into the sky and feel happy.» Decades later, we can read what the rose answered the Little Prince.
