How could one resist a book such as this?
The opening paragraph starts thus.........
Far away in the remote, untraveled southwestern French countryside, en route from the enchanting old city with an ancient cathedral to the mystical Pyrenees which appear like a mirage at the most unanticipated moments, there is a small village which contains two homes, an eleventh century church, and a very special farm known as Pistoulet.
"Everyone who passes through Pistoulet has a story which unfolds.All who spend time there leave with their hearts and minds transformed.
Some never leave."

ReplyDeleteThis book sounds very interesting. I'll have to go to Amazon and check it out. Doesn't seem like there's a "story" to it though, but it sure is different.
