A Harvest of Sunflowers

Twenty years after first setting eyes on Bel-Air de Grèzelongue, her dream house in south-west France, the friendships that Ruth Silvestre and her family formed during the restoration of their once derelict farmhouse have deepened. Local friendships and bonds of loyalty that she and her family formed during the gradual restoration of their once derelict farmhouse have now deepened. The children, both hers and her neighbors’, are now adults and the close-knit community celebrates and prepares for the new generation. The wedding festivities and banquets are beautifully described in mouth-watering detail and the tastes and smells of Lot-et-Garonne seem to float from the page. An unforgettable and enriching story of Ruth and her family, and their continuing love for their home in the sunflowers.
