Violette Toussaint is the caretaker at a cemetery in a small town in Bourgogne. Casual mourners, regular visitors, and sundry colleagues - gravediggers, groundskeepers, and a priest - visit her to warm themselves in her lodge, where laughter, companionship, and occasional tears mix with the coffee she offers them. Her life is lived to the rhythms of their funny, moving confidences. But her routine is disrupted by the arrival of the local police chief, who insists on scattering the ashes of his recently deceased mother on the gravesite of a complete stranger.

A beautiful book.

The reader was good, I’m sure it was difficult to speak in so many voices, and she did it well. Sometimes her French pronunciation was off.
But the story is absolutely wonderful. A jewel if a book!
I definitely recommend this audiobook!
