Bella Tuscany continues the story of Under the Tuscan Sun, in which
Mayes and her partner found, bought and began to restore an
abandoned Tuscan villa. In Bella Tuscany they diversify further
into the founding of a garden - more wine, food and cooking
(recipes included) - and extended restoration. This time the bonus
of a six-month sabbatical from their California University teaching
jobs allows leisure for travel, notably to Sicily and Venice. The
subtle flavour of the book, the relationships, increasing love for
Tuscany, and Italy's language and treasures, grows steadily. For
gardeners, cooks, 'foodies', wine buffs, armchair-travellers -
everyone - a captivating book. (Kirkus UK)
Continuing Frances Mayes's account of her love affair with Italy,
Bella Tuscany presents the author now truly at home there, meeting
the challenges of learning a new language and touring regions
outside Tuscany, including castle towns, fishing villages, and
islands. With fresh adventures and updates on the characters
introduced in Under the Tuscan Sun, Mayes also explores new themes
in this wondrous corner of the world, delving into gardening,
wine-making, and the experience of primavera - a season of renewed
possibility. And Mayes reveals more simple pleasures from her
Tuscan kitchen in a section devoted to recipes. In the sensuous,
vivid prose that has become her hallmark, Bella Tuscany celebrates
Mayes's deepening connection to the land and her flourishing
friendships in a newfound haven of idyllic living.
