    About this ebook

    An eccentric young caretaker brings exuberant life to a smalltown French cemetery in this #1 international bestselling novel: “Enchanting” (Publishers Weekly).

    Violette Toussaint is the caretaker at a cemetery in a small town in Bourgogne, France. Traversing the grounds by unicycle, tending to her many gardens—and being present for the intimate, often humorous confidences of visitors—Violette’s life follows the predictable rhythms of mourning. But then Violette’s routine is disrupted by the arrival of Julien Sole, the local police chief.

    Julien 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.

    “Melancholic and yet ebullient . . . An appealing indulgence in nature, food and drink, and, above all, friendships.” —The Guardian, UK

      Would like to see a movie based on this book. European one :) very emotional throughout, reveals things that people often, not on purpose, hide within...
    • 1/5
      This novel is entirely too French for me... crude sexual comments, normalization of mistresses, now a brother and sister knowingly living together as lovers?!
    • 3/5
      Brace yourself. There is a lot of sadness, tragedy, grief, and distasteful people in this novel. But there is also love, hope, joy, and happiness. If you can get through the difficult stuff, life may have some pleasantness for you, as it does for our protagonist, Violette Toussaint (née Trenet).Violette’s life begins poorly. She is an orphan in foster care. When things begin to look up, for example when she finds a man who desires her as much as she desires him, it’s probably not for the best. Philippe Toussaint is a nasty piece of work. But for a few years Violette can ignore his harshness, philandering, and bone-idleness because at least she has her daughter, Léonine. Alas, tragedy is never far from Violette. When her daughter is killed in an apparent accident at a children’s camp, Violette must spend the rest of her life dealing with her grief. Taking on the job of cemetery keeper in the small town of Brancion-en-Chalon is part of that process.Despite flitting back and forth in time, the story of Violette is linear and episodic. Gradually she learns more about life and love, at times from unusual sources. And always the love she had and has for her daughter carries her forward. If the sporadic melodrama clashes with the broader story of growth, perhaps that’s just a genre thing. You will either welcome both sides of the story or find them both a bit shallow. And you might flip back and forth in your opinion as you go along.It didn’t fully work for me. And I didn’t take seriously the attempt to soften our view of Philippe towards the end. He’s just distasteful.Only very gently recommended.

      Violette Toussaint is the caretaker of the cemetery at Brancion-en-Chalon. She lives alone in a small house on the cemetery grounds, a haven for visitors often racked by grief, to whom Violette offers warmth, solace… and tea. Violette’s family are the pets she keeps and her regular colleagues-of-sort – the three gravediggers, Nono, Gaston, and Elvis; the three undertakers, Pierre, Paul, and Jacques (also known as the Lucchini brothers) and Father Cédric Duras, who officiates at most of the funerals in this largely Catholic area.

      Violette is elegant, suave, sophisticated. But just as her dark “winter” coats often cover colourful “summer” clothing, Violette has a hidden history which has led her, via several winding roads, to this little village in Bourgogne. We learn that Violette has reinvented herself, setting off from a childhood in fostering and surviving a painful marriage before settling down as the lady of the cemetery.

      The narration, largely in the likeable voice of Violette, alternates between her present experiences and her past life. But then matters start becoming complicated. One day, a police officer named Julien Seul, turns up at Violette’s door. His mother has left instructions that her ashes be laid on the tomb of a distinguished lawyer in the cemetery, revealing, after her death, a passionate clandestine affair. Violette helps Julien to come to terms with this discovery. But Julien’s arrival on the scene also rakes up a tragic mystery – the grief-shaped core of Violette’s past.

      Antonio D’Orrico, writing in Il Corriere della Sera described Fresh Water for Flowers as the “most beautiful novel in the world”. I am generally loath to heap such unreserved praise on any book, because I’m aware how much depends on the reader’s taste. But I came across a particular passage in this book which sums up what I felt when I finished the novel:

      I close Irène’s journal with a heavy heart. The way one closes a novel one has fallen in love with. A novel that’s a friend from whom it’s hard to part, because one wants it close by, in arm’s reach.

      To me, Fresh Water for Flowers is one of those novels. It’s too early to say whether it will prove to be a memorable one and it might soon be replaced in my fickle affections. But, at least for its duration, it made me want to return to its fictional world and ensconce myself between its pages. The various narrative strands, including the rather unexpected introduction of a “mystery story” element around half the way through, engaged my interest. But what I possibly found more engaging is the style, the surprisingly effective mix of pathos and humour, tragedy and hope, laced with more than a dose of romance. The titles of each of the short chapters, evidently inspired by funerary epigraphs, more often than not provide an oblique commentary on the content of the chapter.

      Perrin is a screenwriter and I can easily imagine the novel and its witty dialogue being turned into a quintessentially French movie, with a central character played by Juliette Binoche or Audrey Tautou, and a supporting cast of bantering, quirky characters. The book even suggests its own soundtrack, with various references to French songs and occasional snatches of Bach and Chopin. It is, in fact, a very “sensual” novel, not just in the sense of being about passion, but because of its assault on the senses – its passages are rich in colours, sounds, flavours, fragrances.

      This marks Valérie Perrin’s English debut. Hildegarde Serle deserves praise for her translation, which reads effortlessly and musically, and makes one forget that the novel was originally in a very different language.

      Lovely. And sad.
    • 4/5
      Had a hard time rating this book. At times the writing seemed simplistic, but the story did deepen and develop as the book went on. Having lost one of my own children to an accident parts of the book were very emotional for me, I do find reading about loss and grief therapeutic, but it can be difficult.

      What a beautiful story! And I never would have found this book for myself if not for a review on Instagram. I imagine that details and nuances have been lost in translation from the original French but the writing is still engaging and also heartbreaking in places.Violette Toussaint nee Trenet, a foundling who grew up without a family of her own, falls in love with a man who has the face of an angel but a heart of stone. They move in together, working on a level crossing, and have a daughter who Violette names Leonine and adores wholeheartedly. Twenty years later, Violette is living and working in a cemetery, tending to the tombs of the dead and counselling the grieving friends and family members who pass through her gates. Her husband, Phillippe Toussaint, has abandoned her and Violette cannot bring herself to talk about Leonine. And then she meets a man, Julien, who has come to bury his mother's ashes on the grave of a stranger, and with his friendship, and the story of his mother's lover, Violette starts to accept the past and look to the future.At the heart of the story is a tragedy but I won't say too much because the revelation, and the resulting investigation, absolutely floored me. I wanted to know who and why and what happened like the characters themselves. But the writing, and the study of love and loss that comes with a book set in a cemetery, also kept me reading:Loss, pain, the unbearable can make a person experience and feel things that are beyond the imagination. When someone has gone, they’ve gone. Except in the minds of those who remain. And the mind of just one man is much bigger than the universe.Perrin is wonderful at slowly unravelling Violette's life, so that a shocking personal drama begins to unfold out of what seems at first to be a series of picturesque vignettes. Some readers might find the pace too slow - and too long, at nearly 500 pages - but I enjoyed my time in Brancion en Chalon!Violette, Philippe, Julien, even Irene and Gabriel in her journal, are all very human in their actions and relationships with each other, making them more relatable than sympathetic as characters on occasion. I don't quite understand - or believe - in the great French concept of true love or an all consuming 'great love', which most of the characters in the book seem to be consumed by at one point or another, but did appreciate the sentiment! And like any good romcom, I hoped that Violette would finally be happy with Julien: 'Between the two of us, we’re like all of Victor Hugo’s novels put together. An anthology of great woes, small joys and hopes.

      Loved listening to Sara Young’s narration of this story a o lonely woman, Violette Toussant, who is the care taken of a cemetery in France. Visitors often visit her and share funny, sad but always moving stories with her over coffee. Life is pleasant until the police chief wants to spread the ashes of his dead mother over the grave of a stranger. I found this a soothing story about a woman, who was an orphan from birth, finds her past intertwined with the police chief’s request. If I to put the synopsis of the story in one sentence it would be this. Determined to be happy, she lets her past and betrayals not stop her in being happy.
    • 4/5
      Fresh Water for Flowers is a beautifully written novel set in the French countryside. Violette is a cemetery keeper and a perfect person for that role. Her own experiences have left her with kindness, respect for the departed, and compassion for those left behind. At times sad, at times humorous, and at times hopeful this was a lovely book.
    • 5/5
      I have just finished reading Fresh Water for Flowers by Valérie Perrin, translated from the French by Hildegarde Serle and I wish I had the time to start reading it all over again. This is the most beautiful book to come out of my TBR pile this year. Violette Toussaint lives in a little house in a cemetery in Bourgogne in France. She is the caretaker of this cemetery and she tends it with love and pride. Her world revolves around the tending of the graves and the care of the aggrieved. Her friends are the people who cross her path there. So far, it doesn’t seem like much of a story but it is so lyrical, so touching, so sad and so rewarding. This is the life of a young woman who goes through some of life’s most tragic events and attempts to keep her head and her heart in the right place throughout. It is a Sunday afternoon kind of read. I recommend it to all. Thank you to Europa Editions and NetGalley for the e-ARC in exchange for an honest review.
    • 5/5
      Fresh Water for Flowers by Valerie Perrin and translated by Hildegarde Serle is that rare book that, for me, touches almost every feeling I could hope for in a novel. To put it simply, I was captivated.I think the description that is available is sufficient as far as telling you what the book is "about" as far as plot, so I am not even going to repeat or paraphrase a similar description. What is difficult to get across is how this book accomplishes that job. Certainly words like poetic, thoughtful, nuanced, and even humorous can all be used. It is beautifully written and translated.Perhaps more important than the mechanics of how a book does what it does is how a book affects the reader. I found myself so deeply invested in the characters while also looking at my own world a little different. I looked and thought about more of the little things. I wondered what others might be thinking and, in the case of those from my past, what they might have thought. I rediscovered an aspect of my mental and emotional self that I had almost forgotten about. Namely, the part that can have a strong opinion about someone or something while still feeling some compassion and/or empathy.While what I took away from the novel may very well be different from what you will, I do believe that the strength, well, one of many, of the novel is that it offers so many ways into the characters and, ultimately, into our own psyches. When we are caring for them we are also caring for ourselves and those around us. And I do think that this book will make most readers take stock of the world around them with experienced but fresh eyes.I highly recommend this to anyone who enjoys character driven novels, particularly one that manages to say so much in a manner that at first seems so matter-of-fact as to appear mundane, but isn't.Reviewed from a copy made available by the publisher via NetGalley.
