VIRTUAL & IN-PERSON MEETING

A Year in Provence by Peter Mayle

In 1987 Peter Mayle, the former creative director of advertising agency BBDO, his wife and their two dogs moved to an old farmhouse in Provence. Over the course of the year, they have a series of run-ins with lazy builders, a clarinet-playing plumber, tax-dodging lawyers, outlaw truffle hunters and the Mistral as they try to renovate their new home. Mayle’s bestselling memoir of this unexpected year is one of the most successful travel books of all time.

Moderated by Educator Susan Gomes. To participate and for details about meeting virtually or in-person, contact Cindy Haiken at chaiken@wallingfordlibrary.org.
