Returning to the small Loire village of her childhood, Framboise Dartigen is relived when no one recognizes her. Decades earlier, during the German occupation, her family was driven away because of a tragedy that still haunts the town.
Framboise has come back to run a little cafe serving the recipes her mother recorded in a scrapbook. But when her cooking receives national attention, her anonymity begins to shatter. Seeking answers, Framboise begins to see ther her mother's scrapbook is more than it seems. Hidden among the recipes for crepes and liquors are clues that will lead Framboise to the truth of long ago.
* We didn't read The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society but lots of people have read it so I will stick with The Five Quarters of the Orange. If you haven't read The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society you should read it! It's a fun book and easy to read.

I'm shocked we didn't read that for book club! That is not a book I would have picked up on my own to read so I was sure it was a book club book! Also I didn't finish it but remember thinking it was ok because I was missing book club, but then I ended up reading the rest a week later because it was so good. Wow. I really thought it was last August. Good think it's not up to my memory to keep track!
Okay, I read it not last summer but right before "Time of my life" Just so I correct my timing.
I didn't think we had, but I think I'll still read it!
