Descripción
Peter Mayle and his wife cherished the dream of someday living in Provence. Then it happened. They bought a two-centuries-old farmhouse and began the exhilarating, frustrating, joyful and satisfying task of restoration.
It was total immersion. From coping with freezing weather to dealing with disarming and procrastinating local craftsmen, Mayle shares his strategies for survival and relishes the growing camaraderie with his country neighbors.
And in telling the story, Mayle transports us to the earthly pleasure of Provencial life and lets us live vicariously in a tempo governed by seasons, not by days.
