You don't like it when a French housewife gets mad at you. If she gets steam behind her, she is an unstoppable creature.

Sundays in France have a different atmosphere to other days, with fewer phone calls, no postman, no delivery men and no one banging on the door.

Nowadays, if you have a journey, albeit a simple one, you consider yourself lucky if nothing happens.

I have a robust sense of humour which helps me deal with problems.

I was lucky enough to spend some of my school days in Barbados, where my father was working, and this gave me a taste for hot weather.

Very little happens in my books.

No matter what their background, the southern French are fascinated by food.

I would dearly love to resist the temptation, if you can call it that, to worry. It's boring, it's anti-social, it's unproductive and it's depressing.

I don't have a boss. Well, I have a boss: the public. If the public doesn't buy my books, I would be out of a job.

There is nothing I like better at the end of a hot summer's day than taking a short walk around the garden. You can smell the heat coming up from the earth to meet the cooler night air.
