Book Reviews of Toujours Provence
Book Review: Toujours Provence
Summary: 2 Stars
I enjoyed Mayle's first book A Year in Provence a lot better than this book. If you want to learn about French food and meals then this book will help you. But it is not as funny as his first book.Book Review: Toujours Provence
Summary: 4 Stars
This book is part of the delightful series about living in Provence by Peter Mayle. He relates his experiences of living as an immigrant with insight and humor. I got the impression that the French are not so much snobs, but really proud of their country, traditions and customs.Book Review: Toujours Provence
Summary: 5 Stars
Peter Mayle, his wife, Jennie, and their three dogs are English living in Provence. In this book, Mayle shares his experiences and appreciation for this land and its people. Chapter by chapter, he shares little stories about his life there. Most often, his experiences are comical and shared in the way only Mayle can, with his clever and carefully-chosen words bringing to life the places and people of Provence. Reading this book is a treasured experience.Book Review: Travelogue doldrums
Summary: 3 Stars
I did not enjoy this book as much as others from Mayle, including A Dog's Life and Hotel Pastis. A year in Provence was also better. This one did not flow well and it seemed like I read many chapters that could have come from different books. Read his other books first.Book Review: Wish I did not get hardback!
Summary: 4 Stars
This book did not live up to Mayle's first book. It's like he's trying to cash in on that fame.
