 Book of the MonthWhite Stone Black WineLife among the ancient vineyards of the Quercy Blanc. This beautifully written book is both informative and enchanting. The lovely Quercy Blanc is a sparsely populated corner of rural southern France and is not particularly well known. It is very “vieille France” with old-style stone houses, markets in every square, locals who take lovely long lunches and attend numerous fêtes.Amanda Lawrence opens the door to this spectacular place by narrating her story in a way which is part memoir, part companion. She invites you as the reader to experience her life in France by welcoming you into her home, introducing you to some colourful characters, enlightening you with local historical facts and enticing you with her often comical culinary skills. You are taken on a journey from day-to-day tasks such as lunching with the neighbours to more intriguing events including an exploration of the famous truffle market in Lalbenque and visits to Cahors, where the famed black wines, produced from the acres of ancient vines, are among the oldest in the world. The Quercy Blanc is a fabulous place for gastronomy, home of the goose and the grape. The local delicacies include rich foie gras, rare black truffles and fragrant Agen prunes. The author discusses these tasty delights with such delectable descriptions that you can almost taste them, smell the coffee from the cafés, and feel the warm Mediterranean sun on your skin. Through engaging and alluring stories, the author provides excellent insight into rural French life and culture truly capturing the soul of the Quercy Blanc and reflecting the warm spirits of its inhabitants. Read a sample: White Stone Black Wine One thing for certain is that after reading this book, you will want to experience life in the Quercy Blanc through your own eyes. This book is a perfect light-hearted holiday read – particularly if you are visiting France this summer!
