Über diesen Titel

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 best seller in France, it is a heartwarming and tender story that will stay with listeners long after they finish it.

Großartiges Buch,
Aber die Vorleserin beherrscht die französische Aussprache nicht. Teilweise haarsträubend schlecht gesprochen. Das Hörvergnügen war dadurch stark vermindert.

Super Geschichte, schlechter Sprecher!

The story is beautiful and the writing is brilliant! Unfortunately, the narrator in English is not a great fit at all, as some details from the original version were smashed by their lack of basic French knowledge. A couple important bits are mispronounced, giving way to confusion, for example François vs Françoise — which made me think the lover was a man and frankly irritated me every time the name came up. Inconsistent pronunciation of names, towns, things, and wrong intonation of common French expressions. Audible should have really chosen a narrator with a bit more understanding of the French language, culture and geography, which was important in this case. So, I would advise anyone with even a bit of knowledge of French to stay away from this English audiobook and read the book instead.

Great story, wrong narrator
