About this book

With wry humor and a deceptively simple style, Amelie Nothomb, the author of over twenty-three best-selling novels tells an unusual story about twin abiding passions: one for champagne, and the other for a riotous friendship between her protagonist and Petronille Fanto, a woman who refuses to drink alone.
