Review title: Not the Usual Travel Book
Product review: In the last ten years there has been a stream of "living on the Continent" books: Brits in Spain, Americans in south of France, everyone in Tuscany. Some were charming, some self pitying, and some "Gee, how exotic it all is! Lucky me!" Well that's not what this is about.It is really the memoir of a house, an inherited house developed in a somewhat great ( not quite grand) style, written by the heir at the end of a long and interesting intellectual life. The various fameous and not so fameous, the hangers on and the local villagers enter into it all and are portrayed along with pictures of the grounds and some of the convivial rooms in what must be described as a family album in the middle of the book.A word of warning. This is a quirky book, sometimes a bit annoying: reminiscent of an elderly aunt telling the assembled family stories about childhood adventures with great-grandfather as the sun sets. Not for everyone such charm.
