About this book The beloved 1.5-million-copy bestseller -- now a major motion picture from Touchstone Pictures starring Diane Lane.
"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. But it's so delicious, read it yourself." --USA Today
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.
