What to expect
Max Skinner, man about town and successful City slicker, finds himself suddenly redundant and instead of rejoining the rat race he has an opportunity to start a new life when he finds he has inherited an 18th century vineyard in Provence. It sounds ideal but life has a habit of surprising even in paradise.
Peter Mayle's delightful novel will enchant the audiences who bought A YEAR IN PROVENCE and TOUJOURS PROVENCE in their millions. Affectionate and witty, his unerring eye for human eccentricity and ambition results in great entertainment and a page-turning narrative. Once more, he has created his own vibrant world in which thousands will want to be occupants.

Critics Review
-
The charming bouquet is uncorked for you by Mayle. He has an unflinching eye for local detail in the zany crime caper set in Bordeaux.
IRISH EXAMINER -
Entertaining stuff- but you might find yourself gasping for a glass of the red stuff.
DAILY EXPRESS -
Through deliciously evocative descriptions of the landscape and great characterisation, you’ll find yourself foregoing meals in order to find out what happens next.
FRENCH MAGAZINE -
A feel-good story with a good plot and plenty of humour. A very enjoyable read.
