ABOUT UNDER THE TUSCAN SUN
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.

MY THOUGHTS:
I really enjoy this book. This is the third time I have read it and still thoroughly enjoy it. I love that I feel like I am in Tuscany with Ms. Mayes - she is so descriptive. I love the townspeople; the property; their adventures.
PLEASE read this book - it is wonderful!!!!
Love.
