  <default_description>With his national bestsellers &lt;b&gt;A Year in Provence&lt;/b&gt; and &lt;b&gt;Toujours Provence&lt;/b&gt;, Peter Mayle gave new meaning to the phrase &quot;great escape.&quot; Now he has written a delightful novel of romance, adventure, and tongue-in-cheek suspense, set in the beguiling French region he has staked out as his own.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[This isn't up to Mayle's usual standard but it is a fun quick read of particular interest to those who have traveled to Provence or are planning to.  The plot is predictable and a bit trite.  The characters are humorous (as are all Mayle's characters)  but in a caricaturish way I didn't see in his o...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/14899738">more...</a>]]></body>

You can tell the author was an ad man (like the main character) as he provides a little too much detail about the main character and not enough about some of the other major characters - such as the girlfriend and the butler - (yes, t...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/60647254">more...</a>]]></body>
