pickI can see why this has been a litsy hit! #HeapsMorePraise This tender story about a French cemetery keeper is a triumph of found family and healing.
Violette grew up an orphan and married a no-good man in her teens. They work at a railroad crossing, and V is raising their daughter, the joy of her life. When a terrible tragedy strikes, he looks for answers while she turns inward. Later, she meets a man whose dead mother had an unusual request.

writerlibrarian She is currently in the French book world *the it author* we, I, as the acquisition librarian went from buying 1 copy to 3 to 6 for the new titles and… her back titles in the space of 6 months. She is along Claude Lelouch‘s partner in life and work. 2y
KristiAhlers I really enjoyed this one when I read it a few months ago. This author has a new one out now but haven‘t picked it up yet 2y
BarbaraBB @KristiAhlers I haven‘t dared yet to pick it up. My expectations are so high after this one! 2y
KristiAhlers @BarbaraBB which is pretty much why I haven‘t either! 😂 2y
CBee @Megabooks oh yep, I read it a few months ago but I still think about it 😊😊 2y

Megabooks @CBee whoops, meant to say “you enjoyed” head faster than hands! It‘s good to know Three is as good @Cinfhen I can definitely see myself picking it up in the next few months. 2y
Megabooks @BarbaraBB @KristiAhlers I‘m waiting for it to be more affordable, but I definitely plan to pick up Three! 2y
Megabooks @writerlibrarian wow! I figured that was the case re: her being the top author because it‘s been so popular abroad too. (Kind of like Sally Rooney and Ireland.) I‘m not familiar with Lelouch, so I will have to look him up. (I need to read more literature in translation!) Thanks for sharing this. 👍🏻 2y
writerlibrarian @Megabooks Lelouch is probably one of the last great French film maker from last century alive. His masterpiece is Les Uns et les Autres. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Les_Uns_et_les_Autres 2y
Megabooks @writerlibrarian ah! And I remember un homme et une femme being mentioned in the book. Makes sense. Once again, thank you! I love learning new things! 2y
CBee @Cinfhen sweet @AmyG sent Three to me as a bday gift and I can‘t WAIT to read it 😊😊 2y
AmyG It‘s not as good as Fresh Water but it‘s a good one. For me the beginning was slow but it picked up and I really enjoyed it. 2y
Cinfhen Agree @AmyG in the end I loved it but it required a lot of patience and concentration 2y
