Toujours Provence by Peter Mayle
NATIONAL BESTSELER
Taking up where his beloved A Year in Provence leaves off, Peter Mayle offers us another funny, beautifully (and deliciously) evocative book about life in Provence. With tales only one who lives there could know--of finding gold coins while digging in the garden, of indulging in sumptuous feasts at truck stops--and with characters introduced with great affection and wit--the gendarme fallen from grace, the summer visitors ever trying the patience of even the most genial Proven aux, the straightforward dog Boy--Toujours Provence is a heart-warming portrait of a place where, if you can't quite get away from it all, you can surely have a very good time trying.
Peter Mayle worked in advertising for fifteen years before fleeing to Provence in 1975 to write his best-selling books A Year in Provence and Toujours Provence. He has contributed to a variety of newspapers and journals, and his work has been translated into seventeen languages. He and his wife live in Provence.
