 French Dirt: The Story of a Garden in the South of France by Richard GoodmanWhen New Yorker Richard Goodman takes off for the South of France for one sun-baked fantasy year living in a winemaking village, he begins what is ultimately a love affair with a garden. This is the tenth anniversary paperback edition of a travel classic. "This is a love story. Like most love stories, it has its share of joy and passion, of loss and pain. Like most love stories, it also has its moments of melodrama, of emotions run amok, of suspicions, worries, anxieties, of pride and panic - of jealousy, even. And, like many familiar love stories, it has times of great pleasure and bliss, only to end, because fate or the gods willed it, cataclysmically. In this case, the object of my love was not a woman. It was a small rectangular piece of land in the south of France. This is the story of my garden." --Richard Goodman, author Paperback 203 pages - 5" x 8 1/2" - (5/02)
