Summary: Charming is the only word
Review: This is a charming and thoroughly engaging book. Lady Winifred describes the trials and tribulations of an English couple who move to Provence in the 30s. Her descriptions of the people and the area are so vivid that by the end of the book you feel as if you, too, live in Provence. When I finished the book, I felt homesick and wanted to return as soon as possible!

Summary: Charming is the only word
Review: This is a pleasurable, surprising, sunshine-filled, leisurely, and -- dare I say it again -- charming book. It's a little dated, but retains its wonderful capacity to evoke a time and place filled with the sights, scents, and sounds of stone masons, oil presses, village fetes, kitchen knives, bursting gardens, market days, voluble peasants, and one indomitable Fiat.
