Joanne Harris - Five Quarters of the Orange

Beschrijving boek

Aanvulling conditie: circa 1/3 van het boek is ooit nat geweest en de pagina`s zijn nu dus deels wat minder strak. Geen vlekken op deze pagina`s o.i.d., maar ze zijn wel deels licht gegolfd, net als de achterzijde van de kaft.

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 crêperie - and lets her memory play stange games.

Into this world comes the threat of revelation as Framboise’s nephew - a profiteering Parisian - attempts to exploit the growing success of the country recipes she has inherited from her mother, a woman remembered with contempt by the villagers of Les Laveuses. As the spilt blood of a tragic wartime childhood flows again, exposure beckons for Framboise, the widow with an invented past.
