A Year in Provence was an excellent read, but here
are slices of life from a market-town in Southern France, seen from the
inside.
This collection of snappy, humorous, earthy stories all have a sting in
the tail. They portray aspects of life in France unsuspected by most
casual visitors. Food and sex are rarely talked of with such delicate
earthiness. Medicine, herbal remedies, crime, social niceties, witchcraft
and religion are the reflecting mirrors that illuminate Fanny, Louis,
Francine and Justin: the larger-than-life characters who invite you to
share their France with you.

Bruce Watson casts an amused eye on customs and the way of
life in the South of France, where he has taught English and interpreted
for industry and the police for 25 years. Living with his French
wife in Mazamet, where he first worked in the wool industry during the
’68 revolution, he has an intimate knowledge of the people and ‘la
France profonde’.
