I%26#39;m spending two weeks in the glorious S of F this June, and want to take some suitable literature. I don%26#39;t mean guidebooks or even travel writers, I mean novels etc. I%26#39;ve already got the Avignon Quintet by Laurence Durrell and I%26#39;ve read:
Madam Will You Talk by Mary Stewart
The Debt to Pleasure by John Lanchester
Chocolat by Joanne Harris
(though it%26#39;s not strictly speaking in Provence) until they%26#39;re falling apart. Has anyone got any other suggestions?

Various Peter Mayle, both non-fiction and fiction, set in Provence?

Well Marcel Pagnol, of course, My Father%26#39;s Glory and My Mother%26#39;s Castle (childhood memories) and Jean de Florette with Manon des Sources. These can equally be seen on DVD if you prefer.
Then there is %26quot;Lettres de Mon Moulin%26quot;by Alphonse Daudet - a series of short stories.
