Looking for a great, fun read…?
I’ve just finished Peter Mayle’s two books on life in Provence — “A Year in Provence” and “Tojours Provence”. If you are looking for a fun, relaxing and inspiring read, Mayle is simply the best. With his English wit in full swing, he details his life in the South of France with an eye for detail that makes you feel as if you are sitting at the dinner table with him.
I first read these books in high school as part of my French class, but I am glad I re-read them again - this time enjoying and appreciating the humor and life lessons so much more. I’ve order the third and final installment - “Encore Provence” - which I hear is another brilliant tale of good food, good friends and even more important in French culture - good wine.
