Peter Mayle started the year he and his family moved to Provence from England in the way that you can think fast, people and situations he describes. Similar to "Under the Tuscan Sun", decides to renovate a house and shot his sense of time and the locals are not the same. What I found interesting is how he characterized their commitment to act out every job, from how they waved. You can bet on who I read that he passed, I was wonderingTherefore, I held my hand parallel to the ground and swinging it from side to side.
I laughed out loud at more than one occasion, when his characterization was right on the nose and could easily imagine that the scene played out. It has a facility for a life story, or capture the character of the people he met. I especially like the way they picked up how to talk to business people visiting the comments and his neighbors suspicious.
There are phases in Frenchthe book feel more like you're made there and it was not long before I heard there was a phrase from time to time. The food descriptions were short and there was no Under the Tuscan recipes like this was in order, so I often have to duplicate foreign recipes difficult because of ingredients that were found only in the area. But the author often noticed that the food was more than a passing interest for most people who met with French ... but good food.
This book is ayou can relax and read with great holiday. And 'quick, pleasant and very well written. Can you imagine, almost in a sitting position with the author and the exchange with a glass of good red wine, as I said his first year in Provence.
