Review
(New York Times)
“The travels are idiosyncratic and entertaining, the observation always diverting and frequently inspired. . . . Beneath the sheen, Provence indeed remains elemental. And, in leading us through, Woodsworth remains a witty, erudite, and extraordinarily stimulating companion.”
(Daily Telegraph)
Description
The true Provençaux have always lived a hard life close to the land and the rhythms of the seasons. And it is in the revelation and understanding of these lives, of the Provençal people, that the truths of the region are to be found. As much a study of Provençal culture and history as a memoir and travel book, this is a deep and soulful investigation into a way of life that remains very distinct from that of the rest of France.
