ABOUT THE
BOOK
|
|
Jay Mackintosh is trapped by memory in the old familiar landscape of his childhood, more enticing than the present, and to which he longs to return. A bottle of home-brewed wine left to him by a long-vanished friend seems to provide both the key to an old mystery and a doorway into another world. As the unusual properties of the strange brew take effect, Jay escapes to a derelict farmhouse in the French village of Lansquenet, where a ghost from the past waits to confront him, and the reclusive Marise, haunted, lovely and dangerous, hides a terrible secret behind her closed shutters. Between them a mysterious chemistry. Or could it be magic? |
