About this ebook
When Framboise Simon returns to a small village on the banks of the Loire, the locals do not recognize her as the daughter of the infamous woman they hold responsible for a tragedy during the German occupation years ago. But the past and present are inextricably entwined, particularly in a scrapbook of recipes and memories that Framboise has inherited from her mother. And soon Framboise will realize that the journal also contains the key to the tragedy that indelibly marked that summer of her ninth year. . . .

The intricate weaving of past and present, misunderstanding and revelation, is told in such rich imagery I was torn between wanting to reread a paragraph and wanting to find out what happened next.

As good, if not better, than Chocolat. Harris has a great way of weaving the past and the present into one.
