En 'Cinco cuartos de naranja', Joanne Harris nos presenta a Framboise Simon, quien regresa a su pueblo natal en la campiña francesa tras décadas de ausencia. Allí, los habitantes la recuerdan como la hija de Mirabelle Dartigan, una mujer marcada por una tragedia durante la ocupación nazi. Buscando un nuevo comienzo, Framboise se encuentra con que el pasado y el presente están entrelazados al descubrir un cuaderno de recetas de su madre. A través de estas recetas, Framboise revive los platos de su madre en un restaurante, intentando descifrar los secretos ocultos en las anotaciones crípticas de Mirabelle y desentrañar los sucesos de aquel fatídico verano en su infancia. Esta novela explora las complejas relaciones entre madres e hijas, la resistencia, la derrota y los secretos del pasado.
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.
