I really loved this book. Having spent several seasons in the

backcountry of Provence myself, I found myself laughing in

recognition of the Provencal explanation, for example, of an

unusually cold winter: it was simply that the cold had all slipped

down from Russia because the land had flattened between there and

Provence. Then the raucous rebuilding of their house, and their

plumbing, and the middle-aged plumber himself, who plays the

clarinet at home, and will party of an evening, whirling his wife

around the dance floor until six in the morning. The wonderful

local meals Mayle describes, with pates and hams and mammoth stews,

and olives, and sausages, and slabs of country bread to wipe up the

sauce while cleaning the plates for the next course. It takes the

friendly eye and ear of a sympathetic foreigner to penetrate and

then bring alive the unique and endearing culture that is Provence.

This book will give you many a chuckle when you know the country,

and will certainly prepare you to enjoy it if you don't. --
