Description:
|
|
About the author's life in Sarlat-la-Canéda, France, through the seasons and archaeological strata, Café Oc brings into full relief the humor and independent spirit of local life while also exploring the external strata of the region's archaeological, historical, and folkloric layers plus the internal strata of what brings about a true sense of home and belonging, of finding one's place in the world. Will appeal to readers of John McPhee and Bill Bryson as well as Alice Steinbach and Elizabeth Gilbert.
