I have just last evening started to reread 'A Year in Provence'. As delightful as I remember!

Her writing sounds delightful and is now on my list of books to look for and read. Thank you for this review and introduction. <br />I, too, was saddened at the passing of Peter Mayle and all look to read his novels.

Did you watch the BBC miniseries starring John Thaw (Inspector Morse)in 'A Year in Provence'? It was delightful! <br /><br />I am not sure I had heard of 'Solace' but is showed up on Early Bird Books and I thought it was just the thing to be reading right now so I bought it. I'm glad I did. A nice break from all my mindless mysteries...<br /><br />Warming up this week but it has been snowy, icy, and frigid for way too long. I don't mind the cold, but when the white stuff is on the ground I stick close to home.Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04335523622158333456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9148557807474310110.post-68318156413114759472018-01-20T13:54:12.678-05:002018-01-20T13:54:12.678-05:00Sorry to hear about Peter Mayle's death.

His Provence books were a delight, and though I haven't read his novels yet, I do plan to. <br /><br />The Solace of Open Spaces has long been on my TBR list! I'll have to bump it up to the top, as it sounds just my type of book. <br /><br />Hope you're staying warm and cozy during this unusually cold (for us, anyway) winter. Kathy A.
