“A Summer in Gascony” is a tale of two love affairs: an idyllic summer romance with blonde-haired Anja and a lifelong love affair with Gascony with its village festivals, dusty roads and sun-baked wine country.
In the tiny hamlet of Péguilhan, Martin Calder is introduced to the Gascon way of live - working in the fields, shepherding and slaughtering sheep, feeding the cattle, harvesting the wheat, watering the crops - and discovers a unique people, fiercely proud of their independent heritage.
Full of colourful characters and a gentle humour, “A Summer in Gascony” evokes the spirit, sights, smells and sounds of this still relatively unknown and unspoiled ‘other South of France’.
