Title: the author has burned out on this subject
Product review: It is unfortunate that Peter Mayle's gentle humor did not continue in this book. It sounds as if the Provencal tourist bureau took offense at his satirical comments in previous books, and he felt obliged to write an apologetic rebuttal. I was most disappointed, since I thoroughly enjoyed his first ("A Year in P.") and somewhat less its sequel. But this book could have been much more interesting and enjoyable if he had not reworked his old themes.
