Late one summer evening, Wilberforce - rich, young, and work-obsessed - makes a detour on his way home to the vast undercroft of Caerlyon Hall, and the domain of Francis Black, a place where wine, hospitality and affection flow freely.
Through Francis, Wilberforce is initiated into a life rich in the promise of friendship and adventure, where, through his new set of friends, the possibility of finding acceptance, and even falling in love, seems finally to be within his reach.
Wilberforce becomes a willing pupil to Francis, and in the cellars of Caerlyon he nurtures a new-found passion for wine. But even the finest wine can leave a bitter aftertaste, and Wilberforce will learn the undercroft's unpalatable secrets, and that passion comes at a price ...

Acerca del autor
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.
De la contraportada
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
