With his trademark wit and warm observations, he revisits the characters, customs, and cuisine that have defined his adopted home, whilst exploring how both Provence and he himself have changed over the decades.
From encounters with eccentric neighbours to the enduring pleasures of market day, from truffle-hunting adventures to the simple joy of a well-laid table, this affectionate memoir celebrates the timeless appeal of Provençal life. Mayle's distinctive voice brings humour and humanity to every anecdote, offering both longtime devotees and newcomers a delightful portrait of a region where the art of living well remains paramount.
