Críticas:

"Mayle's affection for lavender fields and languid lunched continues unabated-and so does his influence." --USA Today"Mayle's magpie dictionary yields amusing facts . . . and useful information. . . . You'll soon succumb to his road-tested charm." --The New York Times Book Review"Whether he's smacking his lips in gustatory contentment or mock exasperation, Mayle's affection runneth over. . . . If there is anything charmless or depressing in all of Provence, its secret is safe with him." --The Boston Globe"After nearly two decades of writing about the character and the characters of Provence, Mayle's love for this rich and colorful region is undiminished." --The Christian Science Monitor
