The Vintage Caper And The Marseille Caper

I remember when I was very young how books were oftentimes like best friends… They were my constant companions… sometimes they were more like crushes… I couldn’t leave them alone…and even to this day I am never without a book… by the bed or in my bag… Long tales, short stories… I enjoy them all… romance , history, detective novels… and memoirs.

One of our Christmas traditions is to give each other books… and as I can’t read enough about France, especially Provence… these two from Peter Mayle, The Vintage Caper and The Marseille Caper were read at lightening speed… A little mystery, much talk of wine and both set in Marseille… Light and frothy, easy and short… they are the perfect read when relaxation and mental escape is what you desire.
