Title: What a disappointment!
Product review: Having enjoyed Mayle's previous books so immensely, I was thrilled to pick this up at a bookstore last year. What a disappointment to find it so lacking in the warmth and spontanaity of his others. I found little to care about the characters drawn here and kept hoping the next chapter would be an improvement. Even the descriptions of food and eating weren't as fascinating as A Year in Provence. Oh, well, thank you anyway, Mr. Mayle for your other books. No one can be perfect all the time!
