Lead Review

• Book: Valeria’s Last Stand
• Location: Hungary
• Author: Marc Fitten

‘A confection as rich as a Joanna Harris bonbon … This is a book about the search for love in life’s final chapters. The result is as sweet as a sunset-streaked glass of Tokaji. Lie back on the sun-lounger and giggle and coo at its well-crafted charm. No doubt, booksellers will have already registered that it’s a prime contender for their holiday offers.’ Spectator ‘There’s a bit of Chocolat,…a little Anita Brookner,…even some Peter Mayle … The book is written like a fairy tale.’ Observer
