Frances Mayes
It all started when I bought Under the Tuscan Sun at the Housing Works bookstore sidewalk sale for $1. I read it in days, then moved on to Bella Tuscany, then A Year in the World. Now, I'm reading through Every Day in Tuscany and loving it!
I have a minor obsession with Frances Mayes and this new book is just adding fuel to the fire! Her descriptions of buying a run-down house in Italy and renovating and living in it over time are just fascinating! Check them out if you haven't yet.

ReplyDeleteOh, I need to check that out. It's one of those books I just keep seeing but haven't read, I totally trust your review, though, I bet we have similar taste!
ReplyDeletei would love these books, just need to make the time to read more!
ReplyDeleteI think that may be the next book I read. Thanks for the info. Rhonda
ReplyDeleteEveryone be sure to read Under the Tuscan Sun first! It's the first one and really lays a foundation for the others. I may re-read that one this summer. :)
ReplyDeleteI totally loved the movie, and I've always meant to read the book, but never got around to it. Thanks for the reminder!
