About this product

Product Information

A beguiling novel of romance, adventure, and tongue-in-cheek suspense set in the South of France, from the beloved, best-selling author of A Year in Provence . Simon Shaw, a rumpled, fortyish English advertising executive, has decided to leave it all behind, and heads of to France to transform an abandoned police station in the Lub ron into a small but world-class hotel. On his side, Simon has a loyal majordomo and a French business partner who is as practical as she is ravishing. But he hasn't counted on the malignant local journalist--or on the mauvaise types who have chosen the neighboring village as the site of their latest bank robbery. Slyly funny and overflowing with sensuous descriptions of the good life, Hotel Pastis is the literacy equivalent of a four-star restaurant.

I ordered 2 books from this seller; this one was exactly as described and in good condition. The other is even better, but covered in other feedback. I would say that this seller's books are in better condition than other online used bookstores for the same price. The books were well wrapped, again better than other online used bookstores. Shipping was free which is always a plus. The books came quickly considering sometimes roads are closed due to high winds here. Very happy with purchase!

  • The Delicious Food, Scenery, and Personalities Abound in Provence, France

    This delightfully charming PB novel takes place primarily in Provence, France. The lead character has a midlife moment and quits his advertising job based in London. He moves to France to purchase and renovate an abandoned building to make it into a boutique hotel. He unexpectedly meets a practical, lovely woman who helps renovate him and the derelict building. The setting is luscious. Many other characters are brought to light, making this a richly interesting read, even including a heist. Recommended.

  • Pleasant Read

    This is a pleasant read for those of us interested in Provence and novels French in tone. The humor is light and the escapism most welcome.
