About the book
"The Cheese Cure is far more than a memoir; it is a roadmap to choosing happiness. Michael Finnerty has written a book that is entertaining, thoughtful, funny, warm and filled with quiet courage. He, his book, and his cheese are great company, and might even change your life.”
—Louise Penny, author of international bestseller The Grey Wolf
In dire need of change, journalist Michael Finnerty found himself ushered into the elusive world of cheesemongering and from there, forever transformed. A quest for passion and community meets deep knowledge and learning in Michael Finnerty’s The Cheese Cure, when the renowned journalist and radio presenter found something deeply lacking in the flavour of his life. What followed was a life-changing sabbatical in the historical halls of Borough Market filled with cheese-borne wisdom, eccentric characters, and a tale as gripping as it is heartfelt. A thriving mosaic of eclectic stories, passion, know-how, and serendipity, The Cheese Cure depicts a life lived to the fullest.
