Bella Tuscany

Author: Frances Mayes
Stars: 5
Review by: Little Red Hen
Destination: Italy


This is about more than buying and remodeling a villa in Cortona. It is a read rich with references to other writers, garden history, recipes. It is a primer on the Tuscan way of life, how villages are  human, how people talk with each other, about the importance of eating together, of careful selection of wine and olive oil. It is a fast and delightful read.
