Title: A pretentious and opportunistic book
Product review: Billed as a book written by a Californian who moves to Provence, this book is actually written by a French woman who, after spending some time in Beverly Hills, moves back to France into a home that has been "modernized" for her. If you're more interested in boring acounts of how to impress your neighbors than you are in the joy of living life in a beautiful part of the world, then by all means - buy this book. My girlfriend and I were thoroughly disappointed, and returned this pretensious monstrosity for a full refund. For a more substantial and joyful read, try "A Year in Provence" by Peter Mayle, the book that almost certainly inspired Lenard's shallow and uninspired effort.
