One of my very favorite books of all time. I couldn't agree more with this review - my sentiments exactly:
[A] full-flavored banquet that will stimulate the appetite of the weariest gourmet....Harris is an acute observer of the lush French countryside, and her descriptions of it are a delight.....This is a luscious feast of a book...." -- Clarissa Burden
