Framboise Simon's mother left her journal to Framboise when she died. Framboise returns to her small village in the Loire as an older adult and buys back her family home, begins a new life hoping the community will not connect her with the past when she was a young girl and her village was under German occupation. By the author of Chocolat, this novel is about two of my favorite subjects food and France. It is dark in tone, gripping and surprising. It qualifies as a great summer read.
