This "diabolically clever" (Publishers Weekly) prize-winning novel takes the form of the memoirs of Tarquin Winot, an impeccable, epicurean Englishman and lifelong Francophile. As Tarquin meditates self-importantly on foods, wines, and restaurants and shares such culinary lore as the origins of the peach, niggling questions are raised as to the trustworthiness of his proclamations. What, for instance, is the true nature of his relationship with his brother, a critically acclaimed artist? And why do so many of his acquaintances die?
