I have just submitted A Year in Provence by Peter Mayle. It is actually the first of three books the author wrote about his experiences living in the Provence region of southern France. I scanned the third book, Encore Provence, for book share a while ago, but didn't find a scannable copy of the first book until i moved to a different library system. They are extremely entertaining books. In this one Peter Mayle and his wife are starting the project of getting the house they bought remoddled to suit them, and of course building projects can drag on forever and cause all kinds of interesting problems. they are also just beginning there Provençal education, and are finding everyone quite willing to share their expertise. Since I don't know French I don't know if the French words are actually correct. I just made sure most of them looked plausable. It would be best if someone who does know some French would validate the book. Sarah Van Oosterwijck curious entity at earthlink dot net
