Peter Mayle - Novels of France

Must Read Books - The Novels Of Peter Mayle

A Year In Provence by Peter Mayle
This is a wonderfully written book that anyone who is thinking of moving or visiting France should read. It is the author's chronicle of how he chucked he normal life & moved to the south of France with his wife. He describes month by month of the things he encountered owning a cottage in France, the french people, shopkeepers, and the locals he met with everyday. A must read for anyone who loves France.

Be sure to rent the dvd of the PBS series version of the book, it also was very enjoyable, and a good way of hearing french spoken, as the husband doesn't speak much, so he is constantly trying to communicate with the french locals.

Also good books by Mayle about France:


Toujours Provence

Chasing Cézanne

Hotel Pastis

A Good Year
