| Publisher Description: Am lie Nothomb is one of Europe's most successful and talked about authors. Hygeine and the Assassin, her first published novel, became a phenomenon, occupying a unique position in the world of French and international fiction. Delightful and witty, P tronille is further proof of Nothomb's versatility and brilliance. With wry humor and a deceptively simple style, P tronille tells an unusual story about twin abiding passions: one for champagne, and the other for a riotous friendship between her protagonist and P tronille 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 P tronille and the main character in the book, who happens to be a writer by the name of Am lie 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. |
