HTML: NATIONAL BESTSELLER ? In this witty and warm-hearted account, Peter Mayle tells what it is like to realize a long-cherished dream and actually move into a 200-year-old stone farmhouse in the remote country of the Lubéron with his wife and two large dogs.

Recommended: for some people (who are not me)
For people who like food, for people who like reading at length about people, for people interested in home restoration. Stay away if you want any kind of events or... anything of interest to happen.
Thoughts:
WOW did this bore the hell out of me. I can acknowledge that his writing style is smooth, with lush descriptions and lively characterizations of the people around him.
That said, nothing happened. The main elements of the book are:
- lengthy descriptions of food and meals
- various random conversations with locals
- details of home maintenance
That's just not interesting for me. This one star is not to say this is a poorly written book, but that I personally did not enjoy it. The overall experience was like talking to an older relative who unhurriedly traps me with boring descriptions of their trip. ( )
