Description
Delfine Pessan is a French writer, philologist, and French language teacher. In her books, she often touches on complex issues—such as bullying, conflict between generations, and the difficulty of relationships between people. The novel “Violets Bloom in Winter” can be of interest to both teenagers and their parents.
Marguerite is a young girl with a difficult character who wants to help people. One day, she is assigned for practical training at a nursing home. Working with elderly patients doesn’t scare Marguerite—in fact, the girl feels comfortable there. One of her charges, Yvette, is here not by her own choice. Doctors don’t recommend she stays home alone, and her son doesn’t have the ability to care for his mother. The plot of the book is built around the development of relationships between two heroines of such different ages—around the stories that unfold before us gradually. This is a story that will surprise you, make you experience a whole range of feelings, and show that true friendship doesn’t depend on the number of years lived. Listen to this story!
