Village to Village

More about the book

The memoir vividly recounts Alister Kershaw's experiences in post-war France, highlighting a time when Paris was still a collection of villages. Living joyfully and penniless in the city, Kershaw captures its essence before modernization took hold. His journey continues as he relocates to a small hamlet in the Berry region, where he navigates life among traditional Sancerre winemakers. The narrative explores his interactions with local neighbors and the challenges of being an outsider in this tight-knit rural community.
