Why read it?
1 author picked The Road to Le Tholonet as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I have loved travelling with Monty Don on this gentle, thoughtful, and evocative book is a joy.
In addition to his huge knowledge of plants, he is an informed historian, and writes beautifully. The book is full of surprises as he takes one meandering through the byways of France sharing his passion for plants, places, and interest in people which all come shining through.
From Amelia's list on the lives of those who pushed the boundaries.
