Moving into a 200-year-old stone farmhouse in the remote country of the Luberon with his wife and two large dogs, the author endures January's frosty mistral as howls down the Rhone Valley, discovers the secrets of goat racing through the middle of town, and delights in the glorious regional cuisine.

Mayle records the highlights of each month, from the snow in February and the algae-filled swimming pool of March through the tourist invasions and unpredictable renovations of the summer months to a quiet Christmas alone. Throughout the book, he paints colorful portraits of his neighbors, the Provencal grocers and butchers and farmers who amuse, confuse, and befuddle him at every turn.
