Jay Mackintosh is trapped by the memory in the old familiar landscape of his childhood, more enticing than the present, and to which he longs to return. A bottle of home- brewed wine left to him by a long- vanished friend seems to provide both the key to an old mystery and a doorway into another world. As the unusual properties of the strange brew takes effect, Jay escapes to a derlict farmhouse in the French village of Lansquenet, where a ghost from the past waits to confront him, and the reclusive Marise- haunted, lovely and dangerous- hides a terrible secret behind her closed shutters. Between them, a mysterious chemistry. Or... could it be magic? Check out this story by whimsical mistress Joanne Harris.
