Sunset House - More Perfume From Provence
By Lady Fortescue
Published by William Blackwood & Sons Ltd: Edinburgh 1937

" This sequel to Perfume from Provence continues Lady Winifred Fortescue's captivating account of life in the south of France. In Sunset House, she and her husband, Sir John Fortescue, former Librarian and Archivist to King George V, transform a neglected old property into their dream Provençal home. With humour and grace, Lady Fortescue captures the challenges and pleasures of rural living, from the eccentricities of local tradesmen and neighbours to the scents, colours, and rhythms of the French countryside. Her keen observations and lyrical prose bring to life the warmth and charm of Provence in the interwar years.

First published in 1937, this volume reflects Lady Fortescue's nostalgic affection for a vanished era of Anglo-French gentility and artistic retreat. Enhanced by her engaging storytelling and vivid sense of place, Sunset House remains a delightful read for admirers of classic travel memoirs, Francophiles, and collectors of early 20th-century English literature celebrating the romance of provincial France."
