Title: How the other 90% lived
Review: This is the story of a small, isolated town in southern France from shortly before the French Revolution until today. It is a specific example of how the "big events" affected (or not) everyday life. Although the author is not an economic historian, the book is also about how the village becomes increasingly involved in the world economy. As it turns out this has a far greater impact than the political events do.The book is written in an accessible style, but could have used some better editing. In several places two almost identical senteces follow one another. It is well documented and noted, so anyone wishing to follow the research will be able to.If you are interested in how "everyone else" lived in France for the past 300 years, this is a good book.
