A delightful book. Makes you want to go there, or go again. ( )

Every sequel has the potential to not only be terrible, but also to ruin the memory of the original book. Fortunately "Tourjours Provence" is just as charming and cheerful as "A Year in Provence"; devotees of the original can dive in without reservations. ( )

books about people bookbox; sequel to a Year in Provence. Now the author has been there for 5 years, and the book is a sequence of chapters describing the town, people and what he finds interesting. I wouldn't have noticed how many times the author mentions "gastro-something" if the previous reviewer hadn't pointed it out. Guess he needs a thesaurus ( )

A collection of musings from the author, sharing his experience living in Provence, France. His love for the people, lifestyle, food, drink and place shine through. I found this comforting and relaxing to read. In fact, I enjoyed it much more than the fictional novel he wrote about the same thing. I will be on the lookout for more of this author's work. ( )
