An eccentric young caretaker brings exuberant life to a smalltown
French cemetery in this #1 international bestselling novel:
“Enchanting” (Publishers Weekly). Violette Toussaint is the
caretaker at a cemetery in a small town in Bourgogne, France.
Traversing the grounds by unicycle, tending to her many gardens—and
being present for the intimate, often humorous confidences of
visitors—Violette’s life follows the predictable rhythms of
mourning. But then Violette’s routine is disrupted by the arrival of
Julien Sole, the local police chief. Julien has come to scatter the
ashes of his recently deceased mother on the gravesite of a complete
stranger. It soon becomes clear that Julien’s inexplicable gesture
is intertwined with Violette’s own complicated past. “Melancholic
and yet ebullient . . . An appealing indulgence in nature, food and
drink, and, above all, friendships.” —The Guardian, UK
