"Full of thoughtful reflections and trenchant observations . . . it all adds up to a better understanding of the people and culture of Provence. Mayle is astute at capturing the rhythm of life there." --Regan McMahon, San Francisco Chronicle "A warm, nostalgia-soaked look at the place [Mayle] loved so dearly, packed with fond recollections of the pleasures of life in the region, from pastis to Pétanque . . . An ideal summertime read." --Lila Battis, Travel and Leisure "This 25-year retrospective serves up the cozy cafes, refreshing rosés and joie de vivre that drew many people in Mayle's footsteps to the sun-washed Luberon region . . . [a] well-loved writer's contented recap of a life well lived." --Maureen McCarthy, Minneapolis Star-Tribune "Endearing . . . Short and sweet, these stories paint an idyllic picture of a charming, slow-paced place, the sort that might beckon for the next season of life. And with Mayle's memories, tips and powerful storytelling, you'll realize it's possible, whichever destination you pick." --Ashley Day, USA Today "Treads delightfully familiar ground for fans who succumbed to the charms of Mayle's first book" --Beth J. Harpaz, Associated Press "A bittersweet pleasure . . . While Mayle can pen a mouthwatering description of bouillabaisse, what has always drawn his readers to his writing are his loving portraits of people, community and the Provençal way of life." --Carla Jean Whitley, BookPage "This valedictory memoir will hold special appeal to devoted readers of his Provencal adventures as well as those in search of confirmation that daydreams do come true." -- Library Journal "[Mayle's] keen eye and wit are much on display in this all-new collection of writings on his times in the south of France." -- The Philadelphia Inquirer "Fans of Mayle (who died in January) will be delighted by this final book from Provence's most impassioned booster. . . . Composed in a uniformly bright and jocular voice, this is a breezy valedictory note for a much admired writer." --Publishers Weekly, "Fans of Mayle (who died in January) will be delighted by this final book from Provence's most impassioned booster. . . .

Synopsis
The beloved author Peter Mayle, champion of all things Provence, here in a final volume of all new writing, offers vivid recollections from his twenty-five years in the South of France-lessons learned, culinary delights enjoyed, and changes observed. Twenty-five years ago, Peter Mayle and his wife, Jennie, were rained out of a planned two weeks on the C te d'Azur. In search of sunlight, they set off for Aix-en-Provence; enchanted by the world and life they found there, they soon decided to uproot their lives in England and settle in Provence. They have never looked back. As Mayle tells us, a cup of cafe might now cost three euros-but that price still buys you a front-row seat to the charming and indelible parade of village life. After the coffee, you might drive to see a lavender field that has bloomed every year for centuries, or stroll through the ancient history that coexists alongside Marseille's metropolitan bustle. Modern life may have seeped into sleepy Provence, but its magic remains. With his signature warmth, wit, and humor-and twenty-five years of experience-Peter Mayle is a one-of-a-kind guide to the continuing appeal of Provence. This thoughtful, vivid exploration of life well-lived, la Provence, will charm longtime fans and a new generation of readers alike., The beloved author Peter Mayle, champion of all things Provence, here in a final volume of all new writing, offers vivid recollections from his twenty-five years in the South of France--lessons learned, culinary delights enjoyed, and changes observed.
