Fresh Water for Flowers — Novel
Violette Toussaint tends a cemetery in a quiet Burgundy town, keeping to the rhythms of visitors, rituals, and small routines. Her steady life opens up when Julien, the local police chief, arrives with an unexplained gesture that reaches into Violette's past.
Gentle, observant, and quietly humorous, the novel explores grief, memory, and companionship through intimate scenes of everyday life. The narrative balances wistfulness with warmth, offering a portrait of how community and small acts of care can alter a course of mourning.
Ideal for readers who favour character-driven contemporary fiction and richly observed settings.

This seller was incredible. I purchased an inexpensive (used) book and was almost immediately notified that it shipped on the same day I ordered it. I received it within 2 days. It was exactly as described - it looked like it had never even been read! Great service & a great product. Thanks!
