Old and power-hungry mayor wants to destroy his own town by selling land cheap to the big company making mass product vines. He's doing it saying how he loves it and how he care about his electorate, and boring and misogynistic policeman Bruno helps him with it. Or not. He's not decided yet, as he's not decided whether he wanted to be with woman he loves, or he wants mummy who will take care about his needs, because he's a 40 years old juvenile dickhead.

An overwhelmingly sexist and unimaginative story.

The best part of the book describes small French village life and cuisine.
