This book was written in 1989. It's is a very popular, bestselling memoir that details a couple whose problems you wish you had. They buy a home in Provence. It's hard to get contractors to come to your home to finish the remodel. The concrete table may not be in place by the summer. Tourists swarm in the summer ( I am sure they are there year round now). The neighbor is cranky but lovable.
In 1989, we had not begun to feel the effects of globalization.. or we didn't understand that globalization was the force causing the problems. We didn't know the earth was cooking. There was no internet or smart phones or 9-11 or the myriad of other things that have changed. The world seemed simpler. I am not sure it was though.
The book is fun and fluffy. A good escape from the modern world.
