This is a book about haunted lives, unfinished stories and the chance to change your own life and atone for your past mistakes. Incensed, Father Reynaud condemns her as a significant moral threat to his followers, more so now that Lent, the traditional season of self-denial, has only just began.

This book has her traditional split writing style with parts set in the past and parts set in the present, the past bits very much have the magical feeling of the endless summer that you only have as a kid and you also find in some Stephen King stories like IT and Stand by me. The summary advertises it as a mystery but really that part hardly matters. It's a small grain of intrigue surrounded by a massive bowl of poetic vegetables, for better of worse. The wine bottles have these marvellous conversations with each other, they laugh, they giggle, they are oh so snooty, the disdain they have for some lesser wines would make you cringe.

What emotional need did he fulfil for Jay as he was growing up?
