At just twenty-one, Victoria James became the country's youngest sommelier at a Michelin-starred restaurant. Exhilarating and inspiring, this is the memoir of a young woman breaking free from an abusive and traumatic childhood on her own terms; an ethnography of the glittering, high-octane, but notoriously corrosive restaurant industry; and above all, a love letter to the restorative and life-changing effects of good wine and good hospitality.
