A Year in Provence' saved my sanity therefore, Peter, saved my life.

God is a God of all Comfort and he will Comfort the Family's...My condolences

I loved your book "A year in Provence", the easy going life reminds me of our lovely summer place in Turkey, Datça. I want to read a few more of your books and visit Provence. Sleep in peace. May the best wines of your taste always be served to you at languish lunches.

a wellspring of joy, that I go back to ever couple of years, a real and personal loss to my life.

As I rarely read the NY Times obits, I have just found out about Mr. Mayle's death, and even though I only know him through his wonderful books, I feel heartbroke, like I lost a friend.
I can only imagine the loss his family must feel and to them I give my heart felt sympathy. I will always have my copies of my books and will treasure 'My Twenty-Five years in Provence' which I just purchased.

I love Provence!

It was because of your books that I developed a love affair for everything French, especially the south of France. May you continue your storytelling at your desk in Heaven. God bless you Peter
