"An Enchanted Valley" is a wonderfully vivid trip through rural
France with author Edward Harper and his cultural historian lover
as they search for peace, tranquility, and beauty. "We had been in
the village for six years now. The house was finished. We knew
every nook and cranny of the area within a twenty-mile radius. The
ebb and flow of the village had become a part of our lives each
summer. The ten-year-old daughter of the lascivious school teacher
had bloomed into a voluptuous teenager whose boyfriends roared into
the village on scooters. Maurin's little dog no longer appeared on
our doorsteps as his house stood shuttered and empty, the center of
a vicious fight over the inheritance. But much remained the same.
Every year the chatelain celebrated his birthday with a picnic and
barbecue on the edges of his exotic forest. An immense pig was
roasted over a pit and more than a hundred people attended, a
mixture of his military comrades including the retired colonel of
the regiment and some aging, but still menacing looking,
paratroopers in their red berets. Gallons of Burdic in unmarked
bottles chilled in ice-filled barrels stood next to tables with
great washtubs of salad and gardianne, the superb spiced stew of
the region."
