Good Year – Peter Mayle

Popis

Max Skinner is a man at the heart of London’s financial universe until his
employers embark on a little asset-stripping of their own. Himself. Amid
the grey London drizzle, there is one potential ray of sunshine: Max’s
Uncle Harry has left him his estate in his will – an eighteenth-century
chateau and vineyard an hour’s drive from Avignon. Out of a job, and
encouraged by his friend Charlie about the money in modern wine, he heads
for France. What Max discovers is a beautiful house, wonderful weather and
a bustling village. The downside is the quality of the wine in his
vineyard, but when Max suggests calling in an expert, Roussel, a former
employee of his uncle’s, is resistant. Help is at hand, however, when a
beautiful blonde Californian arrives unexpectedly at the chateau. Peter
Mayle’s delightful novel will enchant the audiences who bought A YEAR IN
PROVENCE and TOUJOURS PROVENCE in their millions.
