About this product

Product Information

Gerald Samper, an effete Englishman, lives on a hilltop in Tuscany. He is a ghostwriter for celebrities, and a foodie, whose weird tastes include 'Mussels in Chocolate and Garlic' and 'Fernet Branca Ice Cream'. His idyll is shattered by the arrival of Marta, a vulgar woman from a former Soviet republic now run by gangsters, notably male members of her family. She is a composer in a neo-folk style who claims to be writing a score for a trendy Italian film director. The neighbours' lives disastrously intertwine. The entourages of the rock star and the director come and go; mysterious black helicopters bring news of mayhem in Voynova, Marta's homeland; and along the way the English obsession with Tuscany is satirized mercilessly.

Excellent item, as described, in good condition and great quality. Very efficient in posting after payment received. Excellent postage cost. Great service from seller but same can't be said for the Royal Mail which as a seller you can't control and I am aware of that. However, Royal Mail did locate my stack of book's after a phone call to Customer Services. I am really looking forward to doing business with you in the not so distant future. Thank you again.

  • 'A work of comic genius' - Indie on Sunday - I think not.

    This was a recommended read, by a friend. I found it difficult to get through, as the humour seemed utterly contrived. I gave the two narrators actual voices: Gerald was voiced by Ed Rearden (radio 4 comedy), who does make me laugh, and Marta was voiced by Svetlana, a friend. I had to find these to help me along. I was dissapointed that the absurdity remained relatively undeveloped, while the rooted reality stayed slippery. Very arch and pedestrian, and very English Daily Mail/Express jokiness.

  • Prescription for pleasure

    Sparklingly written comic story that bursts with deliciously witty detail. Wish I had discovered this remarkable author long ago.
