Mr Weston's Good Wine by T.F. Powys

Whether the villagers choose to buy Mr Weston's light or dark wine is up to them.

Mr Weston's Good Wine Reviews

Mr Weston's Good Wine is a book without parallel. It is an allegory, it is a bucolic farce, it is a religious (or anti-religious?) masterpiece -- A N Wilson * Daily Telegraph *
The greatest value of his work, though, is in showing that it is still possible to write about the primordial human experiences to which religion is a response...Very few 20th-century authors have the knack of writing convincingly of first and last things. A religious writer without any vestige of belief, Theodore Powys is one of them -- John Gray * New Statesman *
Grimly brilliant -- John Carey * Sunday Times *
[It is] generally considered his masterpiece * Washington Post *
A writer who far outshone his contemporaries * Spectator *
