Adam Aitken Reviews Nicola Madzirov and Jan-Willem Anker

I am holidaying in a small farming hamlet in the south of France.

A Sydneysider most of my life, I’ve been coming to France regularly since the mid-1990s, accompanied by my wife who’s English and whose parents live in the region. I’m enjoying my dose of the old world, but thinking, what is home? And what is home to me and to these farmers? More precisely, what is it about Europe today that we value?
