Fed up with life in Southern California, Tony Cohan and his wife traveled to central Mexico to see if a slower pace was what they needed. It was indeed, and this memoir documents their 15 years in the colonial town of San Miguel de Allende, where they befriended eccentric locals and resurrected a crumbling 250-year-old hacienda, which they eventually made their home. It's a delightful slice of expatriate life.  (MEX103, $14.95)
