A review by nlfrey
A Year in Provence by Peter Mayle
4.0
So now I want to move to France.
No, but seriously. This book seems to have stood the test of time quite well - over 30 years since it was written, it's still a delightful read. And it seems to have quite effectively awakened my wanderlust (as if my "wanderlust" ever went to sleep in the first place, lol...).
While very few of us will ever have a chance to buy a farmhouse in the French countryside and move in, I'd imagine there are more than just a few of us who certainly wish we could move to France and become a local. Consider this book your opportunity to vicariously live out that dream. I certainly did, and enjoyed every moment of it.
