The Rose Café: Love and War in Corsica - Softcover
John Hanson Mitchell recounts his time in the isolated backcountry of Corsica in 1962. While working (illegally) at the Rose Café in Ile Rouse, Mitchell spent his days observing the lives of the regulars: a local group of card players, colorful reprobates from the continent, and a younger crowd of fellow students, all spellbound by the lush charms of the island. Depicting the pivotal role that his time in Corsica played in his own development as a writer, Mitchell captures the rhythms and intrigues of a life lived elsewhere.

Review:
"One of our finest guides . . . He shows us how we can cease our wanderings and come to know a place."
"The juxtaposition of the beautiful island's vitality . . . [is] captured well in Mitchell's precise and evocative prose."
"Mitchell is a master of sensual detail. His Corsican idyll, youth's paradise lost, enchants, still vivid and affecting some 40 summers gone."
