A cheesy romp

This mild and amusing tale doesn't fit neatly in any particular genre. It's almost a mystery, but not quite. It's almost a comedy of manners, but not quite. But it is a very English tale featuring lots of delectable cheese, an extraordinary nose and a cadre of mysterious Greeks. Does the world contain cheese shops like Trencoms? I don't know, but after finishing this book, my mouth is watering, and I want cheese, cheese, cheese. It was a pleasant read, and if you're looking for something light and not very involving, give it a try, if possible over a glass of white wine, some mild havarti and a slice of Greek bread.
