Fresh Water for Flowers by Valerie Perrin and Hildegarde Serle A #1 best-seller in France and in Italy, where it was dubbed Italy’s favorite “lockdown novel,” Fresh Water for Flowers is an intimately told story about a woman who defiantly believes in happiness, despite it all. Violette Toussaint is the caretaker at a cemetery in a small town in Bourgogne. Her life is lived to the predictable rhythms of the often funny, always moving confidences that casual mourners, regular visitors, and sundry colleagues share with her. Violette’s routine is disrupted one day by the arrival of Julien Sole—local police chief—who has come to scatter the ashes of his recently deceased mother on the gravesite of a complete stranger. It soon becomes clear that Julien’s inexplicable gesture is intertwined with Violette’s own complicated past. ______________ FYI: Past YPL Book Group picks include: March: The Phone Booth at the Edge of the World by Laura Imai Messina February: The Leavers by Lisa Ko January: Horse by Geraldine Brooks November: Trust by Hernan Diaz October:The Sweetness of Water by Nathan Harris September: The Midnight Library by Matthew Haig June: The Promise by Damon Galgut May: The Island of Missing Trees by Elif Shafak April: The Four Winds by Kristin Hannah ______________ |
