October 2011 Bibliobabbler Title: A Good Year by Peter Mayle

Discussion led by Rita Graham

The Bibliobabblers season opener is a fast-paced, light-hearted romp through Provence.
Max Skinner is a highly successful investment broker with no time for life outside of his job.  When his estranged uncle dies, Max inherits the chateau and vineyard in France where he grew up.  His first intention is to sell the vineyard as quickly as possible, but after spending unexpected time there, he discovers a part of himself that he thought he had lost forever.
Peter Mayle makes Provence sound like the most enticing place on earth in this breezy novel.  Reservations anyone?
