Features: Peter Mayle, the renowned British author, presents his new novel. When Provence is shrouded in layers of mystery, and when fine wine encounters deep affection, Max escapes from his cramped, narrow office in London and throws himself wholeheartedly into the embrace of Provence. There, he finds a sky that is exceptionally blue, air that is refreshingly crisp, and a vast vineyard left to him by his late uncle. The stories that grow amidst the grapevines are intricate and sprawling, while the love that gets lost in the wine is both sweet and sour. What awaits Max is the joy of nature, the unraveling of mysteries, the success of his career, the indulgence in love, and the delight and fulfillment of feeling "Proven?alized." When sunlight dapples the grapevines, and the fragrance of red wine lingers on your tongue and lips, what you are reading is no longer just a story—you are gently touching the most enchanting surface of life.
