Two Towns In Provence

Product Description

Over the years M. F. K. Fisher spent much of her time living & travelling round France, & ruminating
- wisely, entertainingly, & with a deep & well-informed affection
- on French food, French manners, French places &, of course, the French themselves. Here she not only celebrates, in her uniquely perceptive, evocative fashion, Aix-en-Provence & Marseille, but also gives us 'my picture, my map, of a place & therefore of myself'. Weaving together topography, history, folklore & personal memoirs with the looks, the sound, the smell & the taster of her chosen cities, M. F. I. Fisher provides the traveller, the gourmet & the lover of France & fine writing with unforgettable portraits f two remarkable & highly individual towns.
