Book description
'He's cordial company in the precarious cycles of agriculture, and 16 harvests are behind him and his wife Juliette now, documented with a steady, thoughtful, pragmatic eye.' The Irish Times'...this book is more than a description of wine making, it is a celebration of nature and a love of the land, the seasons and the soil, and how these things can nurture the soul. ' Caught by the River'...the book has a slow charm that crept up on me. As Hahn is reviving the vineyard, coaxing it back to life, he is doing the same thing for himself.' The Spectator Twenty years ago Peter Hahn had a breakdown while in the back of a London cab. Emotionally exhausted, he no longer recognised himself inside the corporate world that demanded so much of him. It became urgently clear the only way to stop the downward spiral was to find a path out. Since then, Peter has found his way to Le Clos de la Meslerie, a small, ancient farm in the Loire Valley, where he grows and makes small batch organic wines.Angels in the Cellar invites us to spend a year in Peter's company among the vines, where he reflects on the land, his life, regenerative farming, and the lives of the small group of people he works with. We join Peter through the seasons, pruning the vines and harvesting the grapes by hand, before we follow him to the cellar, where the alchemy begins - and the angels take charge.An evocative, poetic account of a year spent working with nature, Angels in the Cellar is also a powerful repudiation of the global economy, its obsession with hyper-consumption and its impacts on the land and its ecosystems.

I can't imagine my daily activities without this app – it's my go-to for staying informed and entertained. The app is so easy to set up. I was listening to my books in no time. A functional audiobook production that met basic requirements. The narrator's voice was pleasant enough to listen to for extended periods, though their performance didn't add much interpretation to the text. The audio engineering was competent without being remarkable. Solid performance overall though some character voices sounded too similar. I occasionally got confused about who was speaking in dialogue-heavy scenes.
