Anything Considered

More about the book

Peter Mayle continues to mine the romanticism of Provence for his literary success. A former advertising executive, his <i>Year in Provence</i> told of his time there and brought him unexpected acclaim. Then came three more tales from Provence, <i>Toujours Provence</i>, <i>Hotel Pastis</i> and <i>A Dog's Life</i>. In his latest work, Mayle finds another good reason to write about Provence: its food and wine. This tale is an adventure that manages to send its heroes through a series of wine-tastings and excellent restaurants as they seek to save the black truffle. It's an adventure many of us would love to take.
