The Telling Room (el. knyga) (skaityta knyga) | Michael Paterniti | knygos.lt

Aprašymas

In the picturesque Spanish village of Guzm�n, in a cave dug into a hillside, villagers have gathered for centuries in 'the telling room' to share their stories and secrets ? usually accompanied by copious amounts of wine. It was here, in the summer of 2000, that Michael Paterniti found himself listening to Ambrosio Molinos de las Heras as he spun an odd and compelling tale about a cheese made from an ancient family recipe. Ambrosio's cheese was reputed to be among the finest in the world - one bite could conjure long-lost memories. But then, Ambrosio said, things had gone horribly wrong . . .

Paterniti was hooked. Relocating his young family to Guzm�n, he is soon sucked into the heart of an unfolding mystery, a blood feud that includes accusations of betrayal and theft, death threats, and a murder plot. As the village begins to spill its long-held secrets, Paterniti finds himself implicated in the very story he is writing. Equal parts mystery and memoir, travelogue and history,The Telling Room is as surprising, evocative and wildly entertaining as the world it portrays.
