Author: Amelie Nothomb Publisher: Europa Editions (2015) ISBN-10: 1609452909 ISBN-13: 9781609452902 Condition: Very good Binding: Softcover Pages: 122 Dimensions: 21 x 13.5 x 1 cm +++ by Amelie Nothomb +++ With wry humor and a deceptively simple style, Amlie Nothomb, the author of over twenty-three best-selling novels tells an unusual story about twin abiding passions: one for champagne, and the other for a riotous friendship between her protagonist and Ptronille Fanto, a woman who refuses to drink alone.
This is a funny, moving, "exotic" novel about travel, France, champagne, and, above all, about women's friendship. The on-again/off-again friendship between Ptronille and the main character in the book, who happens to be a writer by the name of Amlie Nothomb, gives the story its verve and the novel its heart. This is literary Thelma & Louise, with a little bit of French panache and a whole lot of champagne thrown in.
Amlie Nothomb is one of Europe's most successful and talked about authors. Hygeine and the Assassin, her first published novel, was published when she was only twenty-five and since then she has become a cult figure, occupying a unique position in the world of French and European fiction. Delightful and witty, Ptronille is further proof of Nothomb's versatility and brilliance.
