The pleasures of this very French adventure-and there are many-aren't in the resolution . . . but in the pleasant stroll through the provinces and in the glasses of wine downed and decadent meals consumed."            -Publishers Weekly   "Mayle delivers . . . good, clean writing; a sophisticated and mouthwatering use of good and wine as the story's upholstery; and a quick yet captivating plot, well sprinkled with humor.  This novel is a special invitation for newbies to begin appreciating Mayle's talent as a writer."             -Booklist From the Hardcover edition., Praise for Peter Mayle and The Vintage Caper :   "Wine and food aficionados will find much to savor. . . .
