Hotel Pastis by Peter Mayle
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.Peter Mayle worked in advertising for fifteen years before fleeing to Provence in 1975 to write his best-selling books A Year in Provence and Toujours Provence. He has contributed to a variety of newspapers and journals, and his work has been translated into seventeen languages. He and his wife live in Provence.
