5 Star review for the Twisted Vine!

The Twisted Vine is a great read, giving you three books in one. First there\’s the thriller, with a cast of characters both sinister and sad. Then there\’s the wonderfully evocative account of life as a grape picker in France. You can tell that the author has been there, done that, and got the knees to prove it. And lastly, there\’s the guide to French gastronomy. My favourite, except that I spent the whole time salivating. What I have learned, from reading The Twisted Vine, is that I don\’t want to go grape picking, but I most definitely do want a four course lunch chez Cabot.
