Cooking with Fernet Branca by James Hamilton-Paterson
Gerald Samper, an 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 arrival of Marta, a vulgar woman from a former Soviet republic now run by gangsters, notably male members of her family.
James Hamilton-Paterson is the author of the bestselling Empire of the Clouds, which was hailed as a classic account of the golden age of British aviation. He won a Whitbread Prize for his first novel, Gerontius, and among his many other celebrated books are Seven-Tenths, one of the finest books written in recent times about the oceans, the satirical trilogy that began with Cooking with Fernet Branca, and the autobiographical Playing With Water. Born and educated in England, he has lived in the Philippines and Italy and now makes his home in Austria.
