Midlands Monthly Book Club April 2025

The Midlands branch of Women in Property will continue to hold our monthly book club over zoom for both members and non-members to attend.

The book that will be discussed during April's meeting is Fresh Water for Flowers by Valerie Perrin.

A poignant bestselling novel full of French charm and memorable characters.Violette Toussaint is the caretaker at a cemetery in a small town in Bourgogne. Her daily life is lived to the rhythms of the hilarious and touching confidences of random visitors and her colleagues.

Violette’s routine is disrupted one day by the arrival of a local police chief, Julien Seul, who insists on depositing the ashes of his mother on the gravesite of a complete stranger. The grave Julien is looking for, and his mother’s story of clandestine love, is intertwined with Violette’s own secret past.

The funny, moving, intimately told story of a woman who believes obstinately in happiness, Fresh Water for Flowers brings out the exceptional and the poetic in the ordinary. A delightful, atmospheric, absorbing tale.

During the meeting we have an informal chat about the previous month’s book, then review three book titles before voting for the next month’s reading choice. Everyone will then go away, order and read the new book then reconvene the next month to discuss how they enjoyed it.

All are welcome to join us to share the love of books! Feel free to bring a drink, snacks or just yourself to join us for some relaxing chit chat!
