Discover the New York Times bestseller that inspired the film. The
perfect read for anyone seeking an escape to the Italian
countryside. When Frances Mayes - poet, gourmet cook and travel
writer - buys an abandoned villa in Tuscany, she has no idea of the
scale of the project she is embarking on. In this enchanting memoir
she takes the reader on a journey to restore a crumbling villa and
build a new life in the Italian countryside, navigating hilarious
cultural misunderstandings, legal frustrations and the challenges
of renovating a house that seems determined to remain a ruin.
Filled with evocative landscapes, delicious recipes and colourful
characters, Under the Tuscan Sun is a book to savour. It's a love
letter to Tuscany, good food, and the joys of starting over. "What
makes it special is the sustained note of joy in it; joy in the
beauty of the Tuscan countryside, the sights and sounds of daily
life, the physical labour involved in the restoration of this
200-year-old villa and the five acres of land that go with it"
