Editorial Review:
Set in the sensuous countryside of Provence, this travel memoir is a journey of the spirit, a love story with a pre-set ending. When Jennifer Huntley meets James, he calls her Jenny, a new name with its own sweet innocence and daring. As it has for so many artists, the stronger sun of Provence softens Jennifer's heart. For eight days a love affair grows, nurtured by the evocative tastes, smells and sights in this romantic landscape. Both lovers know that in eight days they will part and their affair will end. What they do not know is that they have led parallel lives, and as personal secrets are revealed, their intimacy grows. This is a delightfully written story of universal truths and feelings, a "good-girl, bad-girl" journey of innermost thoughts told with honesty, passion and humor. Jennifer's selected photographs, each illuminated by a favorite quotation from Van Gogh, enhance the journey.

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - A evocative, dreamlike holiday romance
A slender and beautifully packaged true-life tale of a woman and her guide who fall for each other during a trip to Provence. "Eight Days in Provence" has a miniaturist perfection, in its evocative descriptions of this beautiful region of France, the growing infatuation of the protagonists, and their dreamlike assignations in gorgeous hotel rooms after perfect meals. As with other similar memoirs, this travel romance comes in the wake of betrayal and hurt, which seems to limit the participants in ... Read More
Rating: - Insprational Journey
I just finished reading Jennifer Huntley's "Eight Days in Provence", and I must admit, pacing myself was actually my biggest challenge, I just did not want to reach the end. The details were exquisite, like the breathtaking landscapes, "Red poppies, iridescent and translucent in morning sun, slashed across the fields every now and then." The delectable and not so delectable cuisine, "like black mud from the bottom of the salty sea." They were sprinkled throughout in all the right places. There were ... Read More
Rating:  - a little tour of Provence
I enjoyed the tour as I love Provence but I found alot of repetition like the picnic meals of tomatos with tapenade and the fact that she seemed oblivious that everyone knew what was going on. They're not to consort with the clients, hmm!
Rating: - poetry and illusion!
I am captivated by Jennifer Huntley's talent for description; she totally mesmerized me with each flower and each feeling as she included me in her journey -- a journey far beyond Provence and romance. This is a journey of the spirit and the soul by an exquisite writer. I would travel with her anywhere.
Rating:  - Trying Too Hard
Parts of this book are very well written, indeed! Some of the author's descriptions of the Provencal countryside make you want to be there -- right now!! On the other hand, I felt as though there was more book than we got. Ms. Huntley's focus on her emotional state of mind and her interpersonal relationships struck me as unnecessary and, forgive me, boring. I still can't figure out why she didn't just bonk the guide to begin with, concentrate on her travelogue and leave the reader out of her emotional ... Read More
