About this book
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.
