Teresa's review
Five Quarters of the Orange: A Novel (P.S.) by Joanne Harris
Another novel by Joanne Harris, filled with memories of food, however this one is much darker. The village and Framboise, the main character, are filled with memories of the WW II and the aftermath of that. Framboise has recently returned to this village of her youth to confront the demons of her past and really restart her life, even as an older lady with grandchildren.
An amazing look at the struggles and situation of occupied France, and the modern village struggling to continue and deal with the memories of the past. Beautiful and tragic.
