«Cinco cuartos de naranja» is a novel by British writer Joanne Harris, published by Grijalbo in paperback (332 pages, in Spanish).
Framboise, now elderly, returns to the French village of her childhood. There she recreates recipes from a notebook inherited from her mother, but the culinary legacy hides episodes of the Nazi occupation she would rather forget. Memory, guilt and redemption intertwine with the cooking and flavors of the region.
Originally published in English in 2001 as 'Five Quarters of the Orange', the Spanish version is translated by Marta Arguile.
For readers of contemporary and historical fiction interested in family memory and in cooking as a narrative thread.
Joanne Michèle Sylvie Harris is a British author, best known for her 1999 novel Chocolat, which was adapted into a film of the same name. Born in Barnsley, Yorkshire, of a French mother and a British father, she was a teacher of French for 15 years and had published three novels during this period before the surprise success of Chocolat enabled her to write full time. Since then she has written over 30 books in a number of genres, including fantasy, psychological thriller, novellas, short stories and non-fiction. Harris' books often feature themes of women's empowerment, folklore, motherhood, community, outsiders and outcasts, and food.
