  <default-description>NATIONAL BESTSELLER&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Taking up where his beloved &lt;i&gt;A Year in Provence&lt;/i&gt; leaves off, Peter Mayle offers us another funny, beautifully (and deliciously) evocative book about life in Provence. With tales only one who lives there could know&amp;#8212;of finding gold coins while digging in the garden, of indulging in sumptuous feasts at truck stops&amp;#8212;and with characters introduced with great affection and wit&amp;#8212;the gendarme fallen from grace, the summer visitors ever trying the patience of even the most genial Proven&#231;aux, the straightforward dog &quot;Boy&quot;&amp;#8212;&lt;i&gt;Toujours Provence&lt;/i&gt; is a heart-warming portrait of a place where, if you can't quite &quot;get away from it all,&quot; you can surely have a very good time trying.</default-description>
