Maggiori informazioni sul libro
Joanne Harris returns to the enchanting French village of Lansquenet in her novel, shifting focus from food to drink. The story is narrated by a lively Fleurie 1962 wine, which serves as a catalyst for "layman's alchemy." The protagonist, Jay Mackintosh, is a once-celebrated author now stuck in a rut, writing mediocre science fiction and leading a hollow existence. He seeks solace in fine wines, but it's six "Specials" from his old friend Joe that truly unlock his memories and inspire him to escape his mundane London life for Lansquenet. As Jay settles into the village, he reflects on his childhood friendship with Joe, whose unique perspective influenced his successful book. He becomes entwined in village life, encountering familiar faces from Harris's previous work, including the troublesome Caro and Toinette, and Josephine, who becomes a true friend. However, it’s the mysterious Marise who captivates Jay and reignites his passion for writing. This journey of self-discovery and resurrection adds depth to the narrative, making it a delightful read that enriches Lansquenet as a destination where dreams can come true.
