A sparkling, debut novel celebrating late-flowering love in a Hungarian village Zusammenfassung In sixty-eight years, Valeria has never minced her words. Harrumphing through her isolated little village deep in the Hungarian steppes, she clutches her shopping basket like a battering ram and leaves nothing uncriticised. But one day, her spinster's heart is struck by an unlikely arrow: the village potter, with his decisive hands and solid gaze.
Relazione
'A confection as rich as a Joanna Harris bonbon ... This is a book about the search for love in life's final chapters. The result is as sweet as a sunset-streaked glass of Tokaji. Lie back on the sun-lounger and giggle and coo at its well-crafted charm. No doubt, booksellers will have already registered that it's a prime contender for their holiday offers.' Spectator
