Booknblues | 12251 comments A Year in Provence byPeter Mayle is a monthly account of the author's experience during the first year of his move from England to France. He and his wife bought a farmhouse, a fixer-upper and the reader follows along with his travails, explorations and interpersonal experiences.

It is an enjoyable read told with good humor and appetite for life. It was a nice reading break for me and I especially enjoyed all the meal descriptions.

What else have you read by him. I'd like to read more but wasn't sure where to start?

Much of my reading predates my time on Shelfari or Goodreads, so I don't have reviews noted ... but if you look at his profile page and see the list of his books I think I've read all BUT A Good Year The Vintage Caper and Anything Considered

The first four listed are memoirs of his years in Provence. The rest are all fiction. Oh ... except for A Dog's Life which is the "autobiography" of Mayle's mongrel dog - an absolute hoot!
