The author who unforgettably captured the experience of starting a
new life in Tuscany returns to immerse herself - and her readers -
in the sights, aromas and treasures of twelve new special places. A
YEAR IN THE WORLD is vintage Frances Mayes - a celebration of the
allure of travel, of serendipitous pleasures found in unlikely
places, of memory woven into the present, and of a joyous sense of
quest. An ideal travel companion, Frances Mayes brings to the page
the curiosity of an intrepid explorer, remarkable insights into the
wonder of the everyday, and a compelling narrative style that
entertains as it informs. With her beloved Tuscany as a home base,
Mayes travels to Spain and Portugal, France, the British Isles, and
the Mediterranean world of Turkey, Greece, the south of Italy, and
North Africa. In Andalucia, she relishes the intersection of
cultures. She cooks in Portugal, gathers ideas in the gardens of
England and Scotland, takes a literary pilgrimage to Burgundy and
explores the Moroccan city of Fez. Weaving together personal
perceptions and informed commentary on art, architecture, history,
landscape, and the social and culinary traditions of each area,
Mayes brings the immediacy of life in her temporary homes to the
reader. An illuminating and passionate book that will be savored by
all who loved UNDER THE TUSCAN SUN, A YEAR IN THE WORLD is travel
writing at its absolute best.
