Living in Asia was very rewarding for me: I learned new techniques that I put into practice daily in my creations. In the Irish Independent Ruth Dudley Edwards felt that Bond had not fully made the leap from children's fiction to its adult counterpart, "much knowledgeable carry-on about food and wine and jolly sex scenes notwithstanding". [29] The Observer praised "four-star moments among the custard pies". [30] In The Times Marcel Berlins wrote of an "engaging mix of farce, detection and cuisine", but thought Pommes Frites featured too prominently in Monsieur Pamplemousse on the Spot: "next time, grapefruit without chips, please". [1] Adaptations [ edit ] Madame P's shop is filled with amazing bottles of interesting concoctions that brings people joy.

Book Review: Madame Pamplemousse | The Swaddle Book Review: Madame Pamplemousse | The Swaddle

C'est une boutique pleine de magie et de féérie que Madeleine va découvrir pour notre plus grand plaisir. Weird and wonderful concoctions, sweet and sour characters, and line drawing decoration by Sue Hellard are a recipe for success in this deliciously original little novel'The Director's discreet but influential secretary is an important player at Le Guide, but the dominant female figure in the organisation is the formidable Madame Grante, in charge of Le Guide's finances; Pamplemousse is in recurrent conflict with her over the magnitude of his expenses claims. [10] Despite her forbidding exterior, the widowed Madame Grante is sufficiently susceptible to male charms that in Monsieur Pamplemousse Investigates she has to be rescued from a scheming abductor by Pamplemousse and Pommes Frites. [11] Le Guide − wholly fictitious unlike its supposed rivals − is based in the seventh arrondissement of Paris, near Les Invalides. [6] Its Director, Henri Leclercq, [7] lives in some style in a large house on the fringe of Paris, and is something of a snob, adding a q to the surname Leclerc, to make it more distinguished. [8] Many of the novels begin with a request from the Director to Pamplemousse to undertake some extracurricular activity − for the benefit of Leclercq, Le Guide or even La France − from which extravagant complications ensue. [9] Pterodactyl Bacon, scorpion tails in smoked garlic oil, and great squid tentacle in jasmine-scented jelly... Madame Pamplemousse's culinary delights provide a literary feast.
