Description

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.

A Good Year, Peter Mayle's delightful novel, will enchant the audiences who bought A Year in Provence and Toujours Provence in their millions.
