Or sat on a boat opening and eating oysters as you lift them from the sea? Or partaken of a seven course feast of game to celebrate the success of the \u003ci\u003echasse\u003c\/i\u003e? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen Patricia Atkinson - bestselling author of \u003ci\u003eThe Ripening Sun\u003c\/i\u003e - first moved to France, her intention was simply to establish a vineyard. Over the years, however, she found herself becoming integrated into a way of life that, had she stayed in England, she would hardly have believed existed. Grounded in the rhythms of the land and the seasons, daily life in Patricia's south-western corner of France is dictated by a series of rituals and celebrations that we have long lost in our supermarket age.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eLa Belle Saison\u003c\/i\u003e is Patricia's eulogy to this way of life: a testament to the timelessness of the beautiful French countryside, the bounty of the land, and the generous-hearted French neighbours who showed Patricia that a simple life has many rewards. In France, every season is 'la belle saison', offering up its gifts to those willing to appreciate and look after the land.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Random House Adult Trade Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47107102310640,"sku":"9781446439012","price":10.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781446439012_p0.jpg?v=1763828913","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781446439012","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
