Forgotten on Sunday

An unforgettable story of unlikely friendship and the scars of a broken past. The first novel from the million-copy bestselling author of Fresh Water for Flowers.

Description

After bonding with Helene, an almost 100-year-old resident, the two women slowly reveal their stories to one another. Whilst Justine helps Helene to relive her memories of love and war, Helene encourages Justine to confront the secrets of her own past, and the loss she has buried deep within.

One day, trouble arrives in the form of a mysterious phone call that shakes the retirement home to its core and uncovers a shocking revelation. At once humorous and melancholic, Valérie Perrin's debut novel is a story of how the past can shape our present, and the scars of undeclared love.

Forgotten on Sunday delves into themes of memory, loss, and resilience, highlighting how events from the past linger in the present.
