Five quarters of an orange. Harris J.

Framboisa inherited from her mother with culinary recipes-inhimate, given that her brother Kassis got a farm, and her older sister Ren-Claude is a wine cellar with all the contents. But the whole focus is that in the fields of the album, next to the recipes of different dishes and herbal utilities, the mother wrote down her thoughts and recognition regarding some events of her life - in a word, kept a kind of diary. And in this diary, Frambuaz is trying to find answers to the gloomy riddles of the past.

Harris created a multi -layer plot, strewn with delightful descriptions of French books and revealing the shabby effect of war on a fragile family device.

this of her books is still the strongest: acute, with bitterness...

if Joanne Harris did not exist, it should be invented - it should be invented - it The long -awaited antidote from modern obsession with abstinence. It is not for her that the dubious joys of elegant and expensive mineral water or rocket-salad without sauces... Harris bombards the senses with the smells and tastes of the past... it is simultaneously fantastic and real, it worships in mysticism, then is firmly affirmed on the earth. And most importantly, it is witty.
