A quirky, heartfelt road-movie of a novel.

How does one proceed with Life, after the sudden death of a beloved father? Seren Madeleine Jones has no idea, but she’d like to find out. Armed with a wry sense of humour, a fierce imagination and the last object her father used - a silver spoon - she sets off on an initiatory journey from Pembrokeshire to Burgundy. Where, potentially, the story first began. With The Spoon, Dany Héricourt has written an unusual and joyful début novel about the end of childhood, loss, bereavement, the birth of artistic vocation, and family secrets.
