Asim Khan, the writer of “Dispatches From Saint-Tropez: Reminiscences of La Vie en Rose,” has a story to tell and it becomes one of those books that you make you sit back and reflect on what is most important in life, because that is exactly what Khan has done in this personal memoirs.

Khan, once consumed with the life of money, involved in the world of banking and high finance until the bottom collapsed and a time of crisis and reflection arose. In this day and age when many are chasing after the dollar and many have felt the impact of the economy, this offers some insight and will make many of the readers take a look at their own lives.

The life in Saint-Tropez is what this book is focused on, from the partying to the differences from one life to the next. This book succeeds in painting a colorful picture of his new home, bringing you to the different restaurants and clubs, making the reader nearly feel as if he’s right there. Khan knows how to tell a story and, at times, I found the book very amusing.

There are a lot of stories that feature a move from tragedy to triumph, and this one is the same, but in a very different way. I enjoyed how Khan put across the depiction of the characters in his story and how he wasn’t afraid to poke fun at himself. I appreciated most the change in life, from a world of finance to a man living it up in Saint-Tropez. Khan’s happiness comes out in the pages and that is what this book is all about. It is the pursuit of happiness and Khan has obviously found it. I recommend this book.
