If you read Carol Drinkwater's first book The Olive Farm (bwl 10), you won't need me to encourage you to read this one. OK, it's escapist, but it's not all honey and roses and for anyone who has enjoyed any sort of love affaire with Provence and the Midi, it will arouse all sorts of nostalgic memories. And if it needs a saving grace, it doesn't in any way patronise the locals, unlike some who shall be nameless!
