A summer in Gascony

With charm and gentle humor, Martin Calder describes one extraordinary summer spent working on a family farm in a remote hilltop village on southwest France's Gascony coast. A Summer in Gascony is a tale of village festivals, dusty roads, and sun-baked wine country, all dotted with lively and colorful characters. It evokes the spirit of a place, all told in sensuous detail by a man who understands the Gascon way of life.--From B & N.
