Peter Mayle relates how he and his wife depart deary England to purchase a farmhouse in Provence. His account spans a year (the narration is organized by months) and is full of humor as he depicts the French culture, traditions, and people. Descriptions of food abound!
This book was an absolute joy to read. The writing is superb. Subtle humor is incorporated flawlessly. I would read a sentence and stop and think, "Wait. That was REALLY funny!" and break into an appreicative smile. Mr. Mayle is a master of the memior craft!
**Highly, highly recommend.
