In the spring of 1944, Antoine de Saint-Exupéry left his wife, Consuelo, to return to the war in Europe, soon disappearing during a reconnaissance mission over occupied France. His plane and body were never found. Consuelo’s account reflects their extraordinary marriage—a love story between a pilot yearning for the stars and his spirited wife who gave him strength. They met in Buenos Aires in 1930; she was a seductive young widow, and he was a decorated aviation pioneer. Their connection was immediate, and he was determined to make her his wife. Their journey took them from Buenos Aires to Paris, Casablanca, and New York, marked by betrayal, infidelity, pain, and intense passion. They often separated but always returned to one another. This account reveals a man with extravagant dreams and the woman who inspired him, becoming the muse for the beloved rose in The Little Prince. Written during a quiet reconciliation on Long Island, The Little Prince was Antoine’s greatest gift to Consuelo, the only child of their union. This tale serves as her reply—a love letter she never wrote, embodying the same magic, poetry, and tragedy as The Little Prince.
