Inhalt

This is a novel that tells its story back to front, whose main character we meet when he is down on his luck, in his local French restaurant drowning his sorrows in the depths of two bottles of vintage Petrus. It hasn't taken all that long for Wilberforce, as we will only know him, to reach this point, and we see it, almost in slow motion, from the moment it begins -- that one fateful day when he takes an unexpected detour into the country towards a house which had been signposted from the main road: Caerlyon Hall. A sign announced 'Frances Black: Fine Bordeaux Wines. Visitors Welcome' Through Francis Black, Wilberforce develops a taste for fine wine, and a new set of friends, who fill him full of promise and affection and acceptance.And it is this new world, and Wilberforce's awkwardness within it, that contributes to his downfall, and to heartbreak.
