This Penguin 60 edition is an excerpt from Dirk Bogarde's [b:A Short Walk from Harrods 1738156 A Short Walk from Harrods Dirk Bogarde https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1187601250s/1738156.jpg 1735717], one of his numerous autobiographies.It tells of the setting up of his life in Provence, France, at the property his bought called Le Pigeonnier. It is a nicely written book about some of the circumstances, the local people and his interactions during this time.Bogarde is an exceptionally nice man, and he puts a positive spin on almost everything and everyone. His writing jumps back an forward in time in this book - as tells of a person he will jump from meeting them the first time to the end of their interactions (often the death of the person). He describes well in his writing, and he doesn't pad it out unnecessarily.Not my normal reading genre, but a nice way to spend a couple of hours.
