Five Quarters of Orange book by Joanne Harris

Framboise returns to the small town where she was born in the French province and opens a restaurant there that quickly becomes famous, thanks to the recipes from an old notebook that belonged to her mother. This kind of diary also contains some strange notes whose deciphering will shed new light on the dramatic events that marked the protagonist's childhood in the distant days of the Nazi occupation. Framboise recalls the flavors and feelings of her childhood, in a France marked by the pain and scarcity of war, and especially an episode that marked the family's life and constitutes, for her, the definitive loss of innocence. Now, in the Autumn of her life, the time has come to face the difficult truth.
