Imagine moving from New York to a small village in the south of France for a year. What would you do to pass the time? How would you get to know the rural villagers who ignored you, an American who is here only a short time? Richard Goodman, the author had an idea. At first he volunteered to work in the local vineyards where he made friends with his co-workers. Later, He would rent some land, borrow some tools, and start his own garden. Through this he gained much advice, discovered the pleasures of working the small piece of land, and ultimately came to love the people and their simple life. Ostensibly about gardening, French Dirt provides a look into the rich life of the small village near Avignon and it’s citizens, and how they come to accept and ultimately befriend an American who needs help in creating and tending his small garden. Gardeners, francofiles, and armchair travelers will find this heartwarming memoir delightful.A few years back, escaping the sound and fury of New York, Richard Goodman moved to a small southern French farming town he calls by the alias St. Sebastian de Caisson, everything about which "suggests the uneventful, and the eternal." There Goodman found a tiny plot of streamside land and set about raising a copious vegetable garden, about as uneventful an event as a seasoned New Yorker is likely to experience. He writes lovingly of tilling the soil and watching his lettuce, tomatoes, and leeks spring from the ground, but at heart his book is about the generous people he met during his stay and what they have to say about life on the land. Armchair travelers, gardeners, and small-scale farmers alike will enjoy his charming memoir.
