The Liqueur That Never Reached the Valley
Valdellano Monastery, the second night of the silent retreat. Fourteen bottles of the latest run of herb liqueur were waiting in the cellar, the run that keeps a roof on the whole house. At six all fourteen were still on the shelf, full of well water, and the seal on the door had not been touched.
