  Join Carole Bumpus as she continues the culinary journey of Book One in Searching for Family and Traditions at the French Table, with her incomparable guide, Josiane, as they head north from Paris to Nord-Pas-de-Calais, Normandy, and Brittany, then drop into the Loire Valley before ending in the Auvergne. 
  Sample family favorites and regional delights such as Flemish Potjevlesh, Algerian-influenced chicken tagine, moules (mussels) in cider and cream, salt-encrusted Lamb Grevin, Far Brêton, and Pâté de Pomme de Terre. Enjoy the music and antics of local festivals like La Bande de Pecheur (Gang of Fisherman), Feast of St. John, and the Blessing of the Fleet. Discover the wonder of troglodyte caves, wineries, and truffle farms in the Loire Valley. Then travel to Josiane’s family home, where you, too, can discover why food and family time are considered sacred in the Auvergne. And, all along the route, witness the impact WWI and WWII on the families profiled. Even seventy-five years later, the legacy of war remains―and yet, incredibly, the gift that each generation has handed down has been gratitude and a deep understanding of the importance of family. 
  A compilation of personal stories, memorable moments, family secrets, and mouth-watering recipes, this French culinary travelogue is sure to find a prized place on the bookshelf of readers who love France―its food, its people, and its history.

  The Role of the Nile River in...

  The Nile River was more than just a water source for the ancient Egyptians; it was the very foundation upon which their civilization thrived. Stretching over 4,000 miles, the river provided sustenance, enabled agriculture, and shaped daily life in profound ways. Without the Nile, the flourishing civilization that we now associate with ancient Egypt would have been impossible. 
  The river’s importance was most evident in its role as a source of life. Flowing from the heart of Africa to the Mediterranean Sea, the Nile brought fertile silt during its annual inundation. This natural event transformed the arid desert landscape into a lush and arable strip of land, ideal for farming. The nutrient-rich soil deposited by the flooding allowed ancient Egyptians to grow crops like wheat, barley, and flax, which were essential for food, trade, and textile production. This dependable agricultural cycle fostered stability, reducing the risks of famine and ensuring food security for the population. 
  The river also played a crucial role in sustaining both humans and animals. Its waters provided drinking sources not only for the people but also for livestock, which were integral to agricultural practices. Additionally, the Nile supported a wide variety of fish and attracted wildlife to its banks, allowing ancient Egyptians to develop fishing and hunting practices that supplemented their diet. Daily life revolved around the river, as it supplied the necessary resources for cooking, cleaning, and irrigation.

  Fish Town

  "For years my life had been a string of temporary work in factories and call centres or unemployed. Approaching 30 and disillusioned with life in Glasgow, I sold everything I had and left for a new life in a remote fishing village in Japan. I knew nothing of the language or the strange new land that I would call home for the next seven years. Fish Town is an eye-opening true story that paints the reality of living in Japan as an outsider."
  John's debut memoir, written entirely on his phone, reads like a book of poetry or perhaps a long text message. This gifted writer captures the experience of a Scottish man living in Japan – with humour, wit, honesty, and by all means without an ounce of political correctness.
  "Periods of hopelessness and despair are perfectly blended with hilarity and hope, instantly giving off vibes of Post Office by Charles Bukowski. Fagan's delivery is poignant and purposeful, with writing so crisp it's easy to fly through the pages. Truly a book I will never forget." – Aidan Martin, author of Euphoric Recall
