1985, Wales. The father of eighteen -year -old Serena suddenly dies. The news literally paralyzes all members of her family - mother, brothers and grandparents. On the bedside table next to the bed of the deceased, the heroine finds a silver spoon, which does not have a pair among cutlery in their family hotel.
Despite the longing and pain in the heart, Serena decides to solve the secret of the found object. The first guess of her grandfather that the pattern on a spoon is similar to the one that once decorated tasting bowls in Burgundia, pushes the young heroine to the idea of crossing the La-Channel and further, on the old father’s “Volvo” (of course, right-handed), to go to the right-handed one) Traveling on the roads of France.
Having fulfilled her intention and being in an unfamiliar country, the girl now and then is bewilderment and confusion ... And how else, if for local residents there is no particular difference between Welsh and Gauls?! Self -irony and determination will help Serena deal with the mystery of the spoon. This interesting and full of discoveries wanderer through the whole of France will forever change the girl’s life.
A dashing quest and a fascinating novel-travel. The brilliant debut of Dani Ericikur is the penetrating ode of youth, a dramatic story about the experience of loss and growing up, the search for its purpose and the disclosure of family secrets. Being a bilingual, the writer masterfully weaves bright details in the plot canvas inherent in English and French cultures, thereby adding entertaining and humorous piquancy to the narrative
