Information

En Route: A Journey Round France in the Company of Great Writers is the ultimate literary tour, from the Normandy coast to the Cote d’Azur, along the banks of the Seine to the Alps. Peter drinks with Sartre and de Beauvoir in the bars of Rouen and Le Havre, travels to the home of George Sand, Guy de Maupassant and more, and lingers in the Loire Valley with Emile Zola by the waters of the Seine. Along the way, Peter engages the writers in a rolling conversation about their work and the country that inspired them: its beauty, its sense of belonging and nationalism, the perfect omelette, cars and hiking, holy places and war. This is a brilliant, generous and fascinating book.
