The 39th book I've read in 2011...

A Year in Provence by Peter Mayle

From Goodreads.com:

funny--and often hilarious--month-by-month account of the charms and frustrations of moving into an old French farmhouse in Provence and adapting to a very different way of life.

My take:

3 out of 5 stars. It was good but I didn't love it. I've never been to France so I'm not sure how close to true it was. But over all not a bad book
