I do not doubt that centuries form now, whoever lives in Bramasole will one day uncover bits of pottery used at Mayes’ table. She has, by the sweat of her brow and the strength of her vision, become a layer in the history of this place.”--Los Angeles Times"After buying a rundown villa in rural Tuscany, the American author Frances Mayes moves to Cortona to renovate the property and learn more about the Italian dolce vita. Her bestselling memoir on her time there paints a vivid description of the town, the people and the lush surrounding countryside of rolling hills and vineyards. A poet and a gourmet cook, Mayes includes a number of chapters on food, replete with classic Italian recipes to further whet the appetite."--Irish Times A New York Times Notable Book of 1997"This beautifully written memoir about taking chances, living in Italy. loving a house and, always, the pleasures of food, would make a perfect gift for a loved one.

20th Anniversary Edition with a New Afterword

Twenty years ago, Frances Mayes--widely published poet, gourmet cook, and travel writer--introduced readers to a wondrous new world when she bought and restored an abandoned villa called Bramasole in the spectacular Tuscan countryside. Under the Tuscan inspired generations to embark on their own journeys--whether that be flying to a foreign country in search of themselves, savoring one of the book's dozens of delicious seasonal recipes, or simply being transported by Mayes's signature evocative, sensory language. Now, with a new afterword from the Bard of Tuscany herself, the 20th anniversary edition of Under the Tuscan Sun brings us up-to-date with the book's most beloved characters.

This makes me want to live in Italy Having visited Italy recently, helps to visualize some of the descriptions portrayed by the author. The countryside and the Italian way of life brings you back to the place of your youth, and that simpler way of life. The genuine spirit of the people grabs hold and encourages your participation. I can honestly say I am envious of this life style, and perhaps in my next life time I will be fortunate to spend my years in such a surrounding. Included in the author's story, were some of many recipes she prepared while there.Beautiful! 💗 What a beautiful, inspiring book! I felt like I was in Cortona, Italy WITH the author. She writes in such a way that I could see the soft nuances of colors on the Italian hillsides, and I could hear the Italian voices and laughter in the marketplace. I could feel the warm sun and hear the crack of the thunderstorm. I could smell the rain in the air. This book really transported me to the little village in Italy, with her. I loved experiencing the renovation of a very old and very beautiful home. I loved the sights and smells of the region's food and recipes they cooked up. What a beautiful book. I almost didn't bother to read this book because I thought it followed the same storyline as the movie that bears it's name. Thank goodness it does not. I found the movie to be tiresome and predictable. The movie completely destroyed the story of this book. It took a beautiful, genuine story and went "Hollywood" with it, thereby ruining it. But the BOOK! The book is completely different! The book is deeply thoughtful and emotional.... it draws you in with a beautiful story and keeps you there by transporting you into a lovely place full of authentic and warm people. I loved it!! Thank you Frances Mayes! 💗Living in Brigadoon (Italian Style) It's not a new book, although the current edition was published after the movie, and the final chapters have something to say about that: all good. It's a fascinating tale about falling in love with a house and community in far off Tuscany. There comes a point in the narrative when it gets a bit tedious, yet it pulls you along to the very end nevertheless. Having spent a few weeks in the nearby town of Castiglion Fiorentino, I can understand the attraction of Tuscan hill towns and old Tuscan houses. There is a bit of magic in them. They gently float somewhere between the Renaissance and our own time, perfectly at ease with it. If you can't go and see for yourself, Under the Tuscan Sun will get you close.
