Author: Peter Mayle
Blissfully moving into their new home in Provence, France, Mr and Mrs Mayle are set to enjoy themselves. Good food, weather and people are sure to make their stay like a year long holiday. Once the winter hits them with it's strong wind, snow, and all the French snug in their homes, they decide to renovate the house. Reasoning that it should only take a few months they are surprised to learn what a specific time in Provence means... For instance; if while you are setting the date, the Frenchman is patting you comfortingly, it means you might see him on the day, although most unlikely on time. If his hand is teetertoppeling gently, perhaps the next day or the day after that. If it's waggling furiously, you might not see him for a week, a month or even a year. So yeah. A very lol book about France and the people. If you want to work up a good apatite, this book will do it for you, but make sure you have a meal worthy of those within these pages!!
Overview: good humor, great writing, well portrayed, worth reading any day!
