And Wine of the Walnut Flower

By Edward Gordon

Looking through a window, so to speak, on the life of a number of people living in the confined world of a commune in south west France. A lusty story with passion, jealousy, hatred, and betrayal . . . all are there aplenty, together with the characters, and the darkish humour we often associate with a French story; think of the works of Fernandel and Tati among many.
Apart from proper names, there will be found no French in this book, no pretentious insertions to interrupt the flow of the narrative of this simple tale of country folk.

Edward Gordon

Edward Gordon is a retired civil engineer who has spent many years working and living in the Far east, the Indian sub-continent, and Africa. He has written two novels, so far, one of which was first published in 2006, the second 2008 . . . Neither not at all a commercial success it must be said. A third languishes in typescript awaiting inspiration. But in spite of the lack of success he remains committed to writing stories.
