Audio Book Summary
Violette Toussaint is the caretaker at a cemetery in a small town in Bourgogne. Casual mourners, regular visitors, and sundry colleagues—gravediggers, groundskeepers, and a priest—visit her to warm themselves in her lodge, where laughter, companionship, and occasional tears mix with the coffee she offers them. Her life is lived to the rhythms of their funny, moving confidences. But her routine is disrupted by the arrival of the local police chief, who insists on scattering the ashes of his recently deceased mother on the gravesite of a complete stranger. Soon it becomes clear that his inexplicable gesture is intertwined with Violette’s own difficult past. With Fresh Water for Flowers, Valérie Perrin has given listeners an intimately told story that tugs on the heartstrings about a woman who believes obstinately in happiness, despite it all. A number one bestseller in France, it is a heartwarming and tender story that will stay with listeners long after they finish it.

The book was a great read. I wish I had.. The narrator is horrible. Her reading ruined this book for me. Next time I will pay more attention to the sample. I was anxious to start listening because so many friend loved this book. I regret that I had to give even one star.

This is a story that breaks your heart and heals it then breaks it even harder. Difficult and sad topics, but also beautiful writing and warmth and friendship and love of life.

This is the strangest book I’ve ever read/ listened to! It started out good and it just takes off in all different directions and continues to do that until the end!
Great book to go to sleep by though!
