im doing a book report, and i have no idea what the title means.
its:
le gteau gobe-chagrin
Le gteau refers to a cake. Gobe is derived from gober, which means to swallow, be it the real action or figuratively speaking. Chagrin is the word for sorrow or grief.
Putting them together, in literal sense, "the cake that swallows sorrow", meaning, it's a cake that takes away sorrow and sadness. If you read the book, you would have known that the grandmother of the main character (Marilyne) in the book made this cake to help her cope with her sadness, this giving clue to the meaning of the title of this book too.
