Charming--leaves you homesick for Provence,
By winsome385@aol.com (Royal Oak, Michigan) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Perfume from Provence (Hardcover)
This is a charming and thoroughly engaging book. Lady Winifred describes the trials and tribulations of an English couple who move to Provence in the 30s. Her descriptions of the people and the area are so vivid that by the end of the book you feel as if you, too, live in Provence. When I finished the book, I felt homesick and wanted to return as soon as possible!

Charming is the only word,
By A Customer
This review is from: Perfume from Provence (Hardcover)
This is a pleasurable, surprising, sunshine-filled, leisurely, and -- dare I say it again -- charming book. It's a little dated, but retains its wonderful capacity to evoke a time and place filled with the sights, scents, and sounds of stone masons, oil presses, village fetes, kitchen knives, bursting gardens, market days, voluble peasants, and one indomitable Fiat.

the prelude to "A Year In Provence",

This review is from: Perfume from Provence (Paperback)
A lovely little witty book full of observations on the culture of unspoiled Provence...was definitely a great inspiration to "A Year In Provence." The writing style can become a bit tiresome..dated.
