What is Map of another town : a memoir of Provence about?

'A glowing memoir of Provence.' — New York Times 'Fisher writes with such intimacy and style about her corner of Provence that it will make you want to travel there immediately.' — Stylist M.F.K. Fisher moved to Aix-en-Provence with her young daughters after the Second World War. In Map of Another Town , she traces the history of this ancient and famous town, known for its tree-lined avenues, pretty fountains and ornate façades. Beyond the tourist sights, Fisher introduces us to its inhabitants: the waiters and landladies, down-and-outs and local characters, all recovering from the effects of the war in a drastically new France. Fisher is known as one of America's most celebrated food writers; here she gives us a fascinating portrait of a place. It is, as she confesses, a self-portrait: 'my picture, my map, of a place and therefore of myself'. This is an intimate travel memoir written in Fisher's inimitable style – confident, confiding and always compelling. 'A splendid and lovable book.' — The Times 'If Fisher's food writing makes you want to eat, preferably with her, Map of Another Town will make you long to book a budget flight, so you too may stroll down the Cours Mirabea
