Tales from the Pays D'Oc by Patricia Feinberg Stoner ** Blog Tour Spotlight**

Today I am leaving a chilly autumn day and featuring Tales from the Pays D'Oc by Patricia Steinberg Stoner. 


Twenty-one tales of life, love and laughter in the land of sun and vines.  

What is Matthieu doing up an olive tree?  Why won’t Joséphine ever eat pizza again?  Who went four by fourth? And who rescued two hapless Americans at Armageddon Falls?

Travel to the Languedoc, feel the scorch of the sun on your shoulders, smell the dust and the lavender and the ripening grapes and follow the adventures of the Saturday Club and the regulars at l’Estaminet.

In this collection of stories, Patricia Feinberg Stoner revisits the territory of her memoir, ‘At Home in the Pays d’Oc’ with a whole host of new and familiar characters.
