书籍简介

Violette Toussaint 是勃艮第小镇一个墓地的看守人。 她的日常生活是按照随机访客和她的同事——三名掘墓人、三名场地管理员和一名牧师的欢闹和感人的自信的节奏生活的。

有一天，维奥莱特 (Violette) 的日常生活因警察局长朱利安·瑟 (Julien Seul) 的到来而中断，他希望将母亲的骨灰放在一个完全陌生的人的墓地。 朱利安并不是一个保守一个痛苦秘密的人：他母亲的秘密爱情故事打破了维奥莱特精心构建的防御，揭露了她女儿的悲惨失去，以及她查明责任的坚定决心。

一个风趣、感人、亲密的故事，讲述了一个顽固相信幸福的女人的故事，花开之水在平凡中带出非凡和诗意。 一个令人愉快的、大气的、引人入胜的故事。

Violette Toussaint is the caretaker at a cemetery in a small town in Bourgogne. Her daily life is lived to the rhythms of the hilarious and touching confidences of random visitors and her colleagues-three gravediggers, three groundskeepers, and a priest.

Violette's routine is disrupted one day by the arrival of police chief Julien Seul, wishing to deposit his mother's ashes on the gravesite of a complete stranger. Julien is not the only one to guard a painful secret: his mother's story of clandestine love breaks through Violette's carefully constructed defences to reveal the tragic loss of her daughter, and her steely determination to find out who is responsible.

The funny, moving, intimately told story of a woman who believes obstinately in happiness, Fresh Water for Flowers brings out the exceptional and the poetic in the ordinary. A delightful, atmospheric, absorbing tale.

“一本书的美丽，强烈的大气苦乐参半的梦想。” * Matt Haig *
