A propos du livre

À propos de l?auteur

Paul Torday burst on to the literary scene in 2007 with his first novel, SALMON FISHING IN THE YEMEN, an immediate international bestseller that has been translated into 28 languages and has been made into a film starring Ewan McGregor, Kristin Scott Thomas and Emily Blunt. His subsequent novels, THE IRRESISTIBLE INHERITANCE OF WILBERFORCE, THE GIRL ON THE LANDING, THE HOPELESS LIFE OF CHARLIE SUMMERS, MORE THAN YOU CAN SAY, THE LEGACY OF HARTLEPOOL HALL and LIGHT SHINING IN THE FOREST, were all published to great critical acclaim. He was married with two sons by a previous marriage, had two stepsons, and lived close to the River North Tyne. He died at home in December 2013.

À propos de la quatrième de couverture

Meet Wilberforce. He's a man so devited to his work that he can barely remember a time when he cared for anything else. But one summer evening he finds himself exploring a strange road . . . a road which leads him to a world he could never have imagined: rich in the promise of friendship and adventure, where the possibility of falling in love seems finally to be within reach.

Wilberforce's life now centres around the ramshackle Caerlyon Hall and a bewitching group of friends. As his horizons broaden and his heart expands, Wilberforce nurtures a new-found passion for fine wine. But he will discover that Caerlyon holds some unpalatable secrets and that passion comes at a price. Even the finest wine can leave a bitter aftertaste . . .

'Grows more and more pognant as the novel progresses . . . satisfyingly full-bodied and slips down a treat' SUNDAY TIMES

'The whole books is delightfully written . . . Pau lTorday is a remarkable original novelist' EVENING STANDARD
