A Good Year - A Novel (Paperback)

The writer with a claim to being the world' s foremost literary escape artist is back, with an intoxicating novel about the business and pleasure of wine, set in his beloved Provence.
Max Skinner has recently lost his job at a London financial firm and just as recently learned that he has inherited his late uncle' s vineyard in Provence. On arrival he finds the climate delicious, the food even better, and two of the locals ravishing. Unfortunately, the wine produced on his new property is swill. Why then are so many people interested in it? Enter a beguiling Californian who knows more about wine than Max does- and may have a better claim to the estate. Fizzy with intrigue, bursting with local color and savor, A Good Year is Mayle at his most entertaining.
