Excellent
Paul Torday writes such intriguing stories. I love them. Sadly I don't like the stories to finish. I could just read on and on but all good things must come to an end. Highly recommended this book. Now I'm off to buy another of his stories.
Slow read
Intriguing but not too exiting and leaves a couple of things unanswered
Gripping first
I enjoyed this portrait of a life gone wrong. I found the portrayal of the characters gripping at first and the book kept me interested, but the "backwards" style of story telling means there is few surprises towards the end of the book, but a sense of sadness for what could have been a more positive life.
Touching, enjoyable
A beautifully told story of Wilberforce's inheritance of an extensive wine cellar, and his growing obsession with the wine in it. A bittersweet tale of loneliness, self-delusion, addiction and friendship. Well worth a read.
The Irresistible Inheritance of Wilberforce.
As a wine connoisseur, I was very interested to read this well-researched account of how Wilberforce became obsessed with the subject until it dominated his life. I look forward to reading another of Paul Tordy's books, having enjoyed 'Salmon Fishing in the Yemen', the first of his books which I read.
