![]() ![]() It’s a romp through Provence over the course of a year. The writing is witty and the pace is excellent. ![]() I laughed and laughed and commiserated with the Mayles. ![]() I curled up with a glass of wine (Chilean, sorry) and read this in a couple of evenings. ![]() Kudos to the Mayles to manage their money well enough to be able to enjoy the lifestyle which I don’t believe it was at all over the top. I don’t think Mayle whined about the repairs to his house – in fact, he took it lightly and with a clear dose of patience and humor. It was kind of like selling your million dollar house in San Francisco and moving to Iowa – you could buy the entire town for the price of your modest house in California. Right now a farmhouse in France can be bought for as little as US$250,000.00 back in 1989 before this became trendy, property values were even more reasonable, especially coming from England where everything was/is expensive. Well – those reviews smack of small minded jealousy. I read a couple of reviews on goodreads for this book and had to laugh at some of those who felt the book was whiney and written by a rich guy who could afford a super farmhouse with a pool no less! One review said that Mayle went back to England to live. ![]() ![]() ![]()
