In accordance with the venerable French saying "Jamais deux sans trois", Peter Mayle'new book completes his trilogy of life and strange doings in Provence. As you might expect, there are one or two pauses for refreshment in the course of the book, including a feast in a converted petrol station and a rendezvous at Chez Fonfon in Marseille to meet the veritable bouillabaisse. But there is life after lunch and the reader will discover, among other curiosities, a school for noses in Haute Provence, a gardener who grows black tomatoes, a crime passionnel perpetrated on an oversexed butcher, a connoisseur of funerals and an assortment of characters who lie in wait in bars and on boules courts.
