Justine is 21 years old and has lived with her grandparents and cousin Jules since the death of her parents. She works as a carer at a retirement home and spends 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 has buried deep within.
One day, trouble arrives in the form of a mysterious phone call that shakes the retirement home to its core and uncovers a shocking revelation. At once humorous and melancholic, Valérie Perrin’s debut novel is a story of how the past can shape our present, and the scars of undeclared love.
Valérie Perrin’s Forgotten on Sunday won the Booksellers Choice Award in France and has been long-selling bestseller since publication. Her English-language debut, Fresh Water for Flowers (Europa, 2020) won the Maison de la Presse Prize, the Paperback Readers Prize, and was named a 2020 ABA Indies Introduce and Indie Next List title. It has been translated into over thirty languages. Figaro Littéraire named Perrin one of the ten best-selling authors in France in 2019, and in Italy, Fresh Water for Flowers was the bestselling book of 2020.
Hildegarde Serle graduated in French from Oxford University and then worked as an editor on magazines and newspapers before turning to translation. For Europa she has translated, among others, Christelle Dabos's The Mirror Visitor series, all of Valérie Perrin's novels, and Thomas Schlesser's Mona's Eyes (Barnes & Noble Book of the Year).
