Book summary

Tarquin (formerly Rodney) Winot, an impeccably correct English Francophile, journeys not just to his cottage in Provence, but through a forest of sensual description as he offers the story of his life through food. It is only gradually, as the novel assumes some of the qualities of a highly suspenseful thriller, that we begin to realize that Tarquin Winot is not merely the witty voluptuary he seems to be. John Lanchester is--unsurprisingly--a former restaurant critic; this is his first work of fiction.
