Vintage 1954
Antoine Laurain
Hubert
Larnaudie lives in a beautiful Paris apartment that his family has
owned for generations. One evening he invites an art restorer,
Magalie, a bartender Julien and an American visitor Bob, all residing
in the same building, to his apartment for a glass of wine. By
morning they have all been transported back to the year 1954.
Finding
themselves in vintage Paris, the four discover former inhabitants of
the city, see monuments in a new light and encounter personal
memories of people and places that have meaning in their lives today.
They will have to use their wits and the help of another man who
drank from the same 1954 vintage if they want to get back to their
own time again.
Vintage
1954 is a tale that will take you on a heartwarming journey into the
past with four people from different backgrounds who are all able to
find meaning in their lives as a result of this journey back in time.
I
always feel Laurain has the power to take everyday incidents and turn
them into something extraordinary. Anyone who has read one of his
books knows that he is a delightful storyteller with a gift for
creating charming and captivating tales. After reading this one, I
can't help but wonder what he will come up with next. Whatever it is,
I can't wait to read it.
Thanks
to Gallic Books for allowing me to read this book in exchange for an
honest review.
