Max Skinner is a man at the heart of London's financial universe until his employers embark on a little asset- stripping of their own. Himself. Amid the grey London drizzle, there is one potential ray of sunshine: Max's Uncle Harry has left him his estate in his will - an eighteenth-century chateau and vineyard an hour's drive from Avignon. Out of a job, and encouraged by his friend Charlie about the money in modern wine, he heads for France. What Max discovers is a beautiful house, wonderful weather and a bustling village. The downside is the quality of the wine in his vineyard, but when Max suggests calling in an expert, Roussel, a former employee of his uncle's, is resistant. Help is at hand, however, when a beautiful blonde Californian arrives unexpectedly at the chateau. Peter Mayle's delightful novel will enchant the audiences who bought A YEAR IN PROVENCE and TOUJOURS PROVENCE in their millions.

I enjoyed this book but I have to confess I enjoyed the movie more. Why? Hmmm... I'm not sure but I think because I could actually see the French countryside. I do admit that after seeing the movie I expected the book to be a little more intricate and maybe that's why I give it only 3 stars. But I feel most people would enjoy it if they aren't expecting anything that has a lot of depth-just a cute story. It is a nice easy, fun read and I would not have any problems recommending it to the right people.

Interesting
This is a book to read. The reader ends up falling in love with Max. He is naive and always wants to learn. Peter Mayle makes life in Provence less boring than it is said. There's a little suspense in the book which makes it more captivating. Max's bestfriend is hilarious. And when Christie comes from California, things really get serious. You will love it. Make you love wine and french cuisine more. Definitely, a book to buy,
