Fresh Water for Flowers was a 2020 Indies Introduce pick. The book follows Violette Toussaint who is a caretaker at a cemetery in a small town in Bourgogne. She is visited by many who come to the cemetery as they warm themselves in her lodge. She offers them coffee and then shares with them whatever they need: laughter, companionship, and a tissue for tears. Violette lives her life to the rhythms of their funny, moving confidences. Then one day her routine is interrupted by the arrival of Julien Sole, the local police chief. He insists on scattering the ashes of his recently deceased mother on the grave of a complete stranger. As it turns out, the gesture is intertwined with her own difficult past. With this book, Perrin gives readers an intimately told story that is designed to tug at the heartstrings. The story of a woman who believes in happiness despite everything out there in the world that tries to tell her not to. Fresh Water for Flowers is a heartwarming story that will stick with readers.
