Five Quarters of the Orange

такоэ ни рыба, ни мясо. затянуто и драма какая-то недраматичная - хотя казалось бы, оккупированная фашистами франция. вчера дочитывала и думала, что моя бабушка была примерно возраста героини, и тоже всю войну провела на оккупированной территории. но ее воспоминания - это леденящий душу пиздец, а тут такое чириканье. отдельный дислайк за то, что всех детей в семье зовут как фрукты - WTF??

Beyond the main street of Les Laveuses runs the Loire, smooth and brown as a sunning snake - but hiding a deadly undertow beneath its moving surface. This is where Framboise, a secretive widow named after a raspberry liqueur, plies her culinary trade at the creperie - and lets memory play strange games.

John Elbing

When Framboise Simon returns to a small village on the banks of the Loire, the locals do not recognize her as the daughter of the infamous woman they hold responsible for a tragedy during the German occupation years ago. But the past and present are inextricably entwined, particularly in a scrapbook of recipes and memories that Framboise has inherited from her mother. And soon Framboise will realize that the journal also contains the key to the tragedy that indelibly marked that summer of her ninth year. . . .
