    A laugh-out-loud, heartwarming memoir.**Winner of ‘Best Travel Narrative’ by the British Guild of Travel Writers.** 
    "If you only buy one book this year... get this." 
    "Probably the best book I have read this millenium." 
    "Fantastic, hilarious, painful. Completely un-put-downable!" 
    Childhood sweethearts, Joe and Joy are broke and bored. They’re also tired of smelling of fish. 
    When offered the chance to escape from the dreary market stalls of England to run a bar on a sub-tropical island, they recklessly jump at the opportunity - despite their spectacular lack of experience. 
    In Tenerife, dreams of a better life overseas are soon crushed by mini-mafias, East European prostitutes and biblical-grade cockroach infestations. 
    Joe and Joy's foreign fantasy turns into a nightmare as they find themselves trapped with a failing bar in a foreign land, pandering to a bar full of oddball expats while trying to stop their relationship crashing into the rocks. 
    Can they save their business, their dreams, and their relationship before it's too late... 
    "If you've ever wondered if the grass really is greener on the other side, you need to read this hilarious and heartwarming memoir now!" 
    "A book full of humor, laughter and tears." 
    "Loved the story, the humour, the characters - found it hard to put down." 
    "Thank you for hours of true entertainment..." 
    "I've read a lot of travel-abroad memoirs and enjoyed many of them. This is my favorite... by a long way."

    Americans have long had a love affair with Provence: its glamour, its mystique, its foreignness. But never have they had a guide like Ken Timmerman. Bursting with humorous stories about local characters and vivid description of French landscapes and customs gleaned from thirty-five years in the country, Raising Olives in Provence tells the story of how the author improbably came to renovate a run-down house and raise olive trees in the hills above Saint-Tropez. From olive presses to truffle markets, from Templar hostelries to lunch at a beachside club with the king and queen of Sweden, Timmerman takes us to places and introduces us to people we would never find on our own.In his other life as a war correspondent and investigative reporter, Timmerman deals with the horrors and betrayals of a world gone mad, always returning to this hillside in the south of France as a refuge. But even here, intrigue and treachery lie just beneath the surface, along with mysterious visitors on the hillside, an olive thief, phony artists and wannabe aristocrats, and the endless love adventures of his French neighbors.Love, faith, marriage, and friendship—with a sprinkling of salt, thyme, and some olive oil, please! And don't forget the rosé.

    Heroic bookseller Laurent Letellier comes across an abandoned handbag on a Parisian street. There's nothing in the bag to indicate who it belongs to, although there's all sorts of other things in it. Laurent feels a strong impulse to find the owner and tries to puzzle together who she might be from the contents of the bag. Especially a red notebook with her jottings, which really makes him want to meet her. Without even a name to go on, and only a few of her possessions to help him, how is he to find one woman in a city of millions?
