Dreams are often born from the most unexpected places. Ours happened to be delivered by the postman. The postcard arrived nearly 16 years ago and depicted the most beautiful village we had ever seen. Nicole and Claude, a couple we had met in Paris the year before, sent it to us to temp us further into their native France. A village, enveloped in fog, huddled against a cliff at the edge of the Dordogne River, a dilapidated boat tied to its shore. If fairy tales had dreams, they would look like this. On the back of the card, in small black and white print were the words, La Roque Gageac, Dordogne. We knew then we had to find this place.

I have read articles by K. Lovato. I love her writing and her ability to bring readers to the exact time and spot she is depicting. Her words are like photographs, transporting the reader to a wonderful destination.
When is this book coming out. I can't wait to try the receipes and be carried away to France.
I can't wait for this book to be published. It sounds like the perfect read for those of us who love travel, France, good food and wine! I plan to make this my Christmas gift to friends and family in '08!
