The Books Oracle

Fresh Water for Flowers

by Valérie Perrin

Violette Toussaint tends a small-town cemetery in Burgundy, offering coffee, comfort, and quiet companionship to mourners and colleagues alike. Perrin crafts a tender, life-affirming meditation on loss, memory, and the unexpected warmth found in places of goodbye.
