About this listen

 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.©2004 Escargot Productions (P)2004 Time Warner AudioBooks Contemporary Family Life Genre Fiction Historical Fiction Literary Fiction Movie, TV & Video Game Tie-Ins Mystery Romantic Comedy World Literature

Perfect book for francophiles! The narrator was great, and listening to this in my car made me wish I was driving in the south of France.

Nothing like the movie but enjoyable none the less. However it's a bit disconcerting when the storyline is so different from a movie you absolutely loved!

Nothing like the movie with Russell Crowe

Although it differed from the movie (which I loved), this was also lovely. Well narrated and easy listening, I would highly recommend this.
