Review
"'...we grow our own vegetables, we have six (not very magnificent) rooms, and a garden with the finest view in the world (we are on a hill overlooking the Mediterranean) and a private path down to the sea; for exactly $10 a month...So you see, for a poor painter, this is the place to be.' -Ford's lover Biala on the couple's life in Provence '[Ford] was the only Englishman who stood alongside the great "moderns" - Joyce, Eliot and Pound.' - Peter Ackroyd"

Product Description
A cross-genre evocation of a writer's life in the Mediterranean, this account documents the happy years Ford Madox Ford spent living in the South of France with his young artist lover, Biala.. Blending fiction, history, memoir, travel, and cookery writing, this tome charmingly evokes Ford and Biala's ramshackle, bohemian life in their villa on the Mediterranean coast. From social encounters with Ernest Hemingway, Ezra Pound, Pablo Picasso, and Henri Matisse to the delights of growing vegetables, this spontaneous and entertaining book is a true love letter to the Provençal lifestyle.
