Fresh water for flowers Cover Image Book Book

Fresh water for flowers / Valerie Perrin ; translated from the French by Hildegarde Serle.

Perrin, Valérie, 1967- (author.). Serle, Hildegarde, (translator.).

Summary:

"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" -- Amazon.com.
