Five Quarters of the Orange – Joanne Harris (Ukrainian Hardcover, 2022)

Five Quarters of the Orange by Joanne Harris is a tender interweaving of memory, recipes, and family lore. When Framboise inherits a family cookbook, she doesn’t just get ingredients and instructions—she delves into her mother’s hidden world, filled with wartime secrets, childhood images, and folded notes among recipe pages.

Each chapter blends storytelling and flavor: recipes from sunshine-drenched kitchens, handwritten notes of longing, and the revelation of a life that shaped generations. Harris crafts a narrative where taste becomes a memory trigger, and food becomes a vessel for identity and emotional resonance.

The Ukrainian hardcover edition (KSD, 2022) spans 352 pages, measures 135 × 205 mm, weighs approximately 310 g, translated by Darya Moskvitina
