Sallianne D. (traveller) reviewed on 8/23/2009 + 80 more book reviews

This is a very interesting book as far as the travel aspect goes, but it is far too long, with repetitious accounts of the author's various love affairs. One can not feel sorry for the author, who has the choice to live a very lavish life style in France with a wealthy lover, but cannot decide what she wants out of life; in the real world most of us do not have all those options. I was also somewhat disappointed as there was no actual conclusion, and I felt that somehow the recipes got in the way of the story. These days who could afford the ingredients anyway! Apart from the above, it made fascinating reading.
