Fiction
The novels of Joanne Harris are a literary feast for the
senses. Five Quarters of the Orange represents
Harris's most complex and sophisticated work yet -- a novel
in which darkness and fierce joy come together to create an
unforgettable story. When Framboise Simon returns to a
small village on the banks of the Loire, the locals do not
recognize her as the daughter of the infamous Mirabelle
Dartigen -- the woman they still hold responsible for a
terrible tragedy that, look place during the German
occupation decades before. Although Framboise hopes for a
new beginning. She quickly discovers that past and present
are inextricably intertwined. Nowhere is this truth more
apparent than in the scrap book of recipes site has
inherited from her dead mother. With this book,
Framboise re-creates her mother's dishes, which she serves
in her small creperie. And yet as she studies the scrapbook
-- searching for clues to unlock the contradiction between
her mother's sensuous love of food and often cruel demeanor
-- she begins to recognize a deeper meaning behind
Mirabelle's cryptic scribbles. Whithin the journal's
tattered pages lies the key to what actually transpired the
summer Framboise was nine years old. Rich and dark.
Fire Quarters of the Orange is a novel of mothers and
daughters of the past and the present, of resisting, and
succumbling, and an extraordinary work by a masterful writer.
