    “Book Descriptions: ‘A glowing memoir of Provence’ New York Times

    M F K Fisher moved to Aix-en-Provence with her 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 facades.

    Beyond the tourist sights, Fisher introduces us to its inhabitants: the waiters and landladies, down-and-outs and local characters - all recovering from the affects of the war in a drastically new France.

    A companion piece to The Gastronomical Me', in this memoir Fisher finds herself alone, older and with two small children to care for, while at the same time discovering a sense of belonging and acceptance.”
