About this listen

An unforgettable story about an unlikely friendship and about healing the wounds of a broken past, from the million-copy bestselling author of Fresh Water for Flowers.

Justine is 21 years old, and has lived with her grandparents and her cousin Jules since the death of her parents. As a nursing assistant at a retirement home, she spends much of her days listening to her residents’ stories.

After bonding with Hélène, an almost 100-year-old resident, the two women slowly reveal their stories to one another. Whilst Justine helps Hélène to relive her memories of love and war, Hélène encourages Justine to confront the secrets of her own past and the loss she keeps buried deep within.

One day, a mysterious phone call detailing a shocking revelation shakes the retirement home to its core. At once humorous and melancholic, Valérie Perrin’s novel depicts the consequences of undeclared love and, in her inimitable way, portrays once again how the past is never really past.

As usual Valerie Perrin writes beautifully. I read 3 books by her, all of them are sublime

Beautiful

I really enjoyed this book. Sometimes confusing, but everything and everyone connects eventually. Who would have thought that a bistro would be as much a character as any of the other characters! I must admit that I preferred Fresh Water for Flowers, not by much though!

A beautifully disjointed connected novel.
