Beschreibung

<p><strong>*A NUMBER 1 INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER*</strong></p><p><strong>*Jane Garvey and Fi Glover's book club pick*</strong></p><p></p><p>Violette Toussaint is the caretaker at a cemetery in a small town in Bourgogne. Her daily life is lived to the rhythms of the hilarious and touching confidences of random visitors and her colleagues-three gravediggers, three groundskeepers, and a priest.</p><p>Violette's routine is disrupted one day by the arrival of police chief Julien Seul, wishing to deposit his mother's ashes on the gravesite of a complete stranger. Julien is not the only one to guard a painful secret: his mother's story of clandestine love breaks through Violette's carefully constructed defences to reveal the tragic loss of her daughter, and her steely determination to find out who is responsible.</p><p>The funny, moving, intimately told story of a woman who believes obstinately in happiness, <em>Fresh Water for Flowers</em> brings out the exceptional and the poetic in the ordinary. A delightful, atmospheric, absorbing tale.</p><p></p><p><strong>"An appealing indulgence in nature, food and drink, and, above all, friendships."-<em>The Guardian</em></strong></p><p></p><p><strong>What readers are saying:<br><br>"I'd read this book over and over again"<br><br>"One of those books that you don't want to end"<br><br>"Absolutely amazing story"<br><br>"This is one of the BEST BOOKS EVER WRITTEN!"<br><br>"A really moving story of hope love and determination"<br><br>"this is one of the most life-affirming books I have read"</strong></p>
