Description

Bestselling French author Amelie Nothomb writes about twin passions: for champagne and for her riotous friendship with Petronille Fanto, a woman who refuses to drink alone. The on-again/off-again friendship between Petronille and a writer by the name of Amelie Nothomb at the heart of the novel, plays itself out between Paris, London and beyond and is told with humour and verve in Nothomb's inimitable, deceptively simple style. A literary Thelma & Louise with a little bit of French panache and a whole lot of champagne.
