Someone left a copy of this book in the share kitchen I'm using and I read a bit over breakfast or dinner or while waiting for something to cook. If it disappears and I don't finish it, I won't be overly sad but it is a nice light read.

Update: The book didn't disappear and I finished it tonight.

For my full thoughts, check out Read.Write.Repeat.

While still a fun escape into the French countryside of the early 90s, Toujours Provence fails to capture the same magic as its predecessor.

A lovely follow up to A Year in Provence. Peter Mayle is eating and drinking his way through life in a small french village, with a host of colourful anecdotes and charm.

"Biju ķēries pie lavandu apgriešanas ar nelielām zaru šķērēm, un, kā jau iesācējam, man gāja ļoti lēni -nepilnā stundā apcirpu knapi duci ceru. Kad pie mums iegriezās Anrieta, atvedusi pilnu grozu ar baklažāniem, biju priecīgs par iespēju mirkli apstāties. Anrieta paskatījās uz lavandām, uzmeta acis mazajām škērēm un nogrozīja galvu par nejēgu kaimiņu. Vai es nezinot, kā jāgriež lavandas? Ko es māžojoties ar zaru šķērēm? Kur esot mans faucille?"

Atverot grāmatu un turpinot lasīšanas ceļojumu Provansā ir iespēja sajust, sasmaržot un izgaršot katru šīs dienvidu zemes vienreizējamību. Pasmieties par kvalitatīviem jokiem, uzzināt daudz jauna par frančiem un nedaudz piebremzēt savu ikdienas skrējienu... Šīs grāmatas lasīšana ir kā tikšanās ar seniem draugiem, kas dzīvo citā valstī un stāsta savus piedzīvojumus pie laba vīna glāzes. A votre santé!

I'd never had any desire to go to France until I read this book. So light and clever!
