Two Towns In Provence (Paperback) by Fisher

This memoir of the French provincial capital of Aix-en-Provence is, as the author tells us, my picture, my map, of a place and therefore of myself...just as much of its reality is based on my own shadows, my inventions. A vibrant and perceptive profile of the kinship between a person and a place.

M.F.K. Fisher scans the centuries to reveal the ancient sources that clarify the Marseille of today and the indestructible nature of its people A delightful journey filtered through the senses of a profound writer.
