Peter Mayle, A Year in Provence

I flew through this, it's incredibly readable,I've always loved reading about people who have moved abroad. There is no particular narrative, it is what is says on the tin; Mayle describes a year in Provence, shortly after he and his wife bought a house near the Luberon. Mayle tells us of the locals, the perils and delights of the locals, the weather and most importantly the food, wine and olive oil. There also seem to be a lot of similarities with Catalunya, which made it relatable.
