Peter Mayle

Opis

The author of several books set in Provence, including the now-classic travel tome A Year in Provence and a more recent novel, A Good Year, Mayle has once again trapped the sunshine, the wind, and the very lavender-laden air of the southeastern French countryside.

Recenzje

Mayle's affection for lavender fields and languid lunched continues unabated-and so does his influence. USA Today Mayle's magpie dictionary yields amusing facts . . . and useful information. . . . You'll soon succumb to his road-tested charm. The New York Times Book Review Whether he's smacking his lips in gustatory contentment or mock exasperation, Mayle's affection runneth over. . . . If there is anything charmless or depressing in all of Provence, its secret is safe with him. The Boston Globe After nearly two decades of writing about the character and the characters of Provence, Mayle's love for this rich and colorful region is undiminished. The Christian Science Monitor
