Title: Fake Cezannes and Frou Frou Fiction
Product review: I loved Mayle's "A Year in Provence" and "Toujours" and based on the pleasures of reading those two books picked up a $4 remaindered paperback edition of "Chasing Cezanne." What a disappointment! The characters are two dimensional; all dialogue is stilted and hackneyed. The plot is a fallen soufle. Mayle should stick to what he does best: non fiction travel writing.This book gets one star and that's for Mayle's brief, veiled appearance in the character of Andre Kelly when he makes his prounouncement on "The French Paradox."
