I liked the fact that Peter Mayle left himself as much out of the narrative as possible, while still telling a first person story. He focused solely on the Provencal personality and culture, describing it in a fond, puzzled, jocular sort of way that shows he enjoys humanity in general. The stories ran from charming to hilarious. Not wishing to bother the citizens of Provence with a visit from one more tourist (unless I get the chance at some point!), I am content to read about them. I enjoyed it so much, that I turned around and read it again. And then I bought it so that I could share it with my family (I read someone else's copy). I shall head for the sequel next.
Funny, informative and well written.

This is the book that started the addiction to Mayle's Provence books. Articulate, descriptive language full of similes and humor describe his first year in Provence, the country, the culture, the lifestyle. I devoured this book and then starved until the next one arrived.
