Publisher's Note
In "Under the Tuscan Sun", Frances Mayes brings a poet's voice, the eye of a seasoned traveler, and the discerning palate of a cook and food writer together to create an enchanting and lyrical book about the life, the traditions, and the cuisine of Tuscany.

Now in paperback, the #1 San Francisco Chronicle bestseller that is an enchanting and lyrical look at the life, the traditions, and the cuisine of Tuscany, in the spirit of Peter Mayle's A Year in Provence.Frances Mayes entered a wondrous new world when she began restoring an abandoned villa in the spectacular Tuscan countryside. There were unexpected treasures at every turn: faded frescos beneath the whitewash in her dining room, a vineyard under wildly overgrown brambles in the garden, and, in the nearby hill towns, vibrant markets and delightful people. In Under the Tuscan Sun, she brings the lyrical voice of a poet, the eye of a seasoned traveler, and the discerning palate of a cook and food writer to invite readers to explore the pleasures of Italian life and to feast at her table.

Industry Reviews
"[A] romance for people who'd rather read M.F.K. Fisher than Barbara Cartland....Casual and conversational, her chapters are filled with craftsmen and cooks, with exploratory jaunts into the countryside--but what they all boil down to is an intense celebration of what she calls 'the voluptuousness of Italian life'....Despite a few shadows, Ms. Mayes's mood is usually sunny, warmed by her generosity."
New York Times Book Review - Alida Becker (11/17/1996)

"Somehow, this is a narrative at once joyful and full of common sense, a balance that few other writers have struck so perfectly. It's...honest and true, and vividly captures a sense of place."
San Francisco Chronicle - Brian St. Pierre (11/10/1996)

      A great guide into every day Tuscan life
    Review created: 06/24/06
    10 of 11 people found this review helpful.

    Far better than the movie, a must read if you travel to Italy. Better than a travel guide, this book will actually give a flavor of life in Italy, albeit a privileged one.

    Frances Mayes writes lyrically and her intricate descriptions transport you to a beautiful village in Tuscany, from the ruins of her home and the transformation she and her husband wrought, to recipes, travel narratives and more.

    No movie can possibly do this book justice, this is one of those gems you will reach for again and again.
