Enjoy an irresistible feast of humour and discover the joys of French rural
living with Peter Mayle's bestselling, much-loved account of 'A Year In
Provence'. Peter Mayle and his wife did what most of us only imagine doing
when they made their long-cherished dream of a life abroad a reality:
throwing caution to the wind, they bought a glorious two hundred year-old
farmhouse in the Lub�ron Valley and began a new life. In a year that begins
with a marathon lunch and continues with a host of gastronomic delights,
they also survive the unexpected and often hilarious curiosities of rural
life. From mastering the local accent and enduring invasion by bumbling
builders, to discovering the finer points of boules and goat-racing, all
the earthy pleasures of Proven�al life are conjured up in this enchanting
portrait.
