Spice by Jack Turner
A history of the trade that controlled the world and left an indelible impression on our taste buds; a sweeping story of avarice, ingenuity and exploration, spanning the globe and the centuries in its epic reconstruction of this magnificent obsession.‘Epic and evocative…as readable as it is exotic’ Independent
‘Splendid. Erudite, urbane and original. An appetising debut.’ SundayTelegraph
‘Sumptuous. Turner is equally at ease in antiquity and the Middle Ages.’ Guardian
