The Women’s Butcher Shop

A fully revised edition!
Not satisfied with the first version of The Women’s Butcher Shop, Ilja Gort rewrote his novel from A to Z.

In the little French village of Salves, high up in the Pyrenees, there is a butcher’s shop. The villagers love to pop into the shop run by Guy Chevalier and his daughter Bernadette. Not just for the quality of the meat, but also for a chat and the latest gossip. When Guy dies unexpectedly, Bernadette and her husband Bruno take over the business. This has far-reaching consequences for Bernadette, Bruno and all the residents of Salves.

In a style reminiscent of Roald Dahl, Ilja Gort tells the story of how, in a small French village, four women take control of their own lives. An inimitably witty novel that both moves the reader and tickles the funny bone.

Published in 2012, completely rewritten in 2016 and now in its 3rd edition, 2018.
