Description

In this evocative blend of memoir, travel writing, and cultural history, an American writer guides readers through Aix-en-Provence, capturing its ancient streets, landscapes, traditions, and enduring character. Drawing on her postwar life in the town with her two daughters—as well as memories of an earlier period in France—she offers an intimate portrait shaped by observation, curiosity, and personal change. Richly atmospheric and deeply informed, the book explores place, memory, family, history, and the experience of finding a home in a foreign country.
