Description
Adam Thorpe’s home for the past 25 years has been an old house in the C?vennes, a wild range of mountains in southern France. Prior to this, in an ancient millhouse in the oxbow of a C?venol river, he wrote the novel that would become the Booker Prize-nominated ‘Ulverton’, now a Vintage Classic. In more recent writing Thorpe has explored the C?vennes, drawing on the legends, history and above all the people of this part of France for his inspiration.
