"Five Quarters of the Orange" is a novel by Joanne Harris first published by Doubleday in 2001.
The book has two timelines, one tells the story of Framboise, a widowed crêperie owner, fighting her profiteering nephew who is attempting to exploit the family recipes. The other, visited regularly by Framboise in her memories, is of her childhood in occupied France. Throughout the book Joanne Harris mentions food and cooking, as she does in her other works "Blackberry Wine" and "Chocolat"; this adds to the very rural feel of the work. The novel explores a number of themes including drug addiction and how your childhood affects how you behave as an adult.
