Peter Mayle called it "as evocative as a whiff of thyme, and totally charming." Dirk Bogarde, writing in the "London Times," praised it as "a guidebook to undreamed-of loveliness." And the "Los Angeles Times" said it was "destined to be the most-given book of the season . . . small, precious, so pretty." "Sara Midda's Book of Days from the South of France," now with 120,000 copies in print, is an intimate jewel of a sketchbook crammed with images, ideas, and wonder. Adapted from this passionate visual memoir is a book of days infused with the magic of the South of France.

It is a special place to keep all dates, birthdays, and occasions, nestled in geraniums and sunshine.
