Description
A story about the beauty of French land and the joy of working with it. Richard Goodman's memoir begins with an ad for a stone house in the south of France, which he and his girlfriend leave behind to spend a year in the village of St. Sebastien de Caisson. The village, surrounded by vineyards, is a tight-knit community where Goodman struggles to connect with the locals. Undeterred, he takes up work among the farmers, eventually tending to his own small plot of land.
As Goodman works the land, he discovers the simple pleasures of gardening and the growing friendship between an American outsider and the community of French farmers. This is a love story about the land, the people who work it, and the connections that can be made between them.
With its focus on the beauty of the French countryside and the joy of working with the land, French Dirt is a charming and perceptive book about the power of community and connection.
