"Milton makes an impressive fiction debut with this comic thriller set in 1969. Edward Trencom, the owner and operator of London's pre-eminent cheese emporium, holds the title Life President of the Most Worshipful Company of Cheese Connoisseurs. During a tour group's visit to his shop, a mysterious Greek gentleman accosts Edward and prompts him to explore his family history. To his dismay, Edward discovers that many of his ancestors met violent and suspicious ends."
"Edward Trencom's unusual nose--long, aquiline, and bumpy--is the very same nose bestowed on all the Trencom men who have judged (and made) the very best cheeses in the world. But when Edward stumbles on a crate of family papers and discovers the fate of previous generations of his family, he must confront forces that are both mad and bad--and a wrong decision on his part could cost him dearly."
"The first foray into fiction for the author of Nathaniel's NutmegEdward Trencom has bumbled through life, relying on his trusty nose to turn the family cheese shop into the most celebrated fromagerie in England. But his world is turned upside down when he stumbles across a crate of family papers. To his horror, Edward discovers that nine previous generations have come to sticky ends because of their noses. When he investigates further, Edward finds himself hunted down by rival forces whose identity and purpose remain a total mystery. Edward Trencom's nose must make a choice - and for the last nine generations it has made the catastrophically wrong decision. Bestselling historian Giles Milton's deliciously comic debut is a mouth-watering blend of Kind Hearts and Coronets, Tom Sharpr and P.G. Wodehouse."@en
"Situated on London's Foster Lane, there is a quintessentially Georgian, redbrick house with a green door bearing the sign trencoms, 1662. It's the home of the Trencom family's cheese store, a generational establishment begun by Humphrey Trencom that now, 303 years later, is run by Edward Trencom. Quaint though it may seem, it bears witness to a strange occurrence of "accidents" that seem to befall every generation of the curd-loving family.' Edward Trencom has bumbled through life, relying on his trusty nose to turn the family cheese shop into the most celebrated fromagerie in England. This was no ordinary nose, but one long, aquiline, and furnishing the trademark circular bump over the bridge--the very same nose bestowed on all the Trencom men. It was extraordinary, able to discern the composition, maturity, and quality of cheese--and the Trencom noses had sniffed, whiffed, and judged the very best cheeses of the world. But on an ordinary day, Edward's world is turned upside down when he stumbles across a crate of family papers. To his horror, he discovers that nine previous generations of his family have come to sticky ends because of their noses. When he investigates--despite his grandfather's caveat never to look into the origin of his nose--Edward finds himself caught up in a Byzantine riddle to which there is no obvious answer. And like his ill-fated ancestors, he is hunted down by rival forces whose identity and purpose remain a total mystery. Trapped between the mad, the bad, and a cheese to die for, Edward Trencom's nose must make a choice--and for the last nine generations it has made the catastrophically wrong decision. Giles Milton's deliciously comic debut novel is a mouthwatering blend of Tom Sharpe and P.G. Wodehouse. From the noble Roquefort to the piquant Epoisses, every page is permeated by the pungent odor of cheese. Praise for Giles Milton "He has a rare ability--a talent for sifting fine pearls from faraway sands and for transmuting the merely arcane into little literary gems."--Simon Winchester, The Boston Globe "Milton spins a fascinating tale. ... Exuberantly eccentric characters stride the pages."--Time magazine on Nathaniel's Nutmeg "In an exceptionally pungent, amusing, and accessible historical account, Giles Milton brings readers right into the midst of these colonists and their daunting American adventure."--Janet Maslin, The NewYork Times, on Big Chief Elizabeth."@en
