Notes: | Once you start reading, it’s impossible to put this book down. On the surface, it’s about Mayle and his wife moving to a 200-year-old stone farmhouse in Provence and trying to restore it. Actually, the book is about great food, heavenly wines, eccentric neighbors, philosophical plumbers and a devilishly clever plan to have the house finished by Christmas. COMMENTS — A sequel, Toujours Provence takes up where A Year in Provence leaves off. |
